I work as system administrator, and my skills stops in bash and (not too modern) perl.<br /><br />Using perl, i've learned a lot of util things for my work (document all, test all, solve problems), about computers in general, internet and programing.<br /><br />For me perl is like linux, I never get tired of learning new things and I find it useful.<br /><br />CPAN rocks!poisonbithttp://poisonbit.worpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910101498857524639.post-30622791514533600742009-09-25T11:27:27.257+02:002009-09-25T11:27:27.257+02:00The main reason why my favorite language is now Pe...The main reason why my favorite language is now Perl is that when i started programing with Perl, it just makes fun and it was really easy to do things.<br /><br />And the second reason was CPAN. Because there exists a lot of modules and one base where you find a lot of useful modules.<br /><br />The third point was that it is more general usable. I always wanted to do Webapplication, but not only Webapplications. (That is why PHP was no argument).<br /><br />With this reasons i came to Perl and yeah i never switched.<br /><br />The arguments that chorny says are good reason to still use Perl. But i don't think that this are reason why someone think of Perl as his favourite language.<br /><br />If i hated Perl Programming even if it has good Unicode support, good testing, a good community, CPAN, ... i would not hesitate to switch immediately to another language.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910101498857524639.post-27895467322503069422009-09-25T08:33:35.368+02:002009-09-25T08:33:35.368+02:00chorny, your arguments are indisputable.

Powerful and fast regular expressions<br />6. Tight and fast integration in Apache (mod_perl)<br />7. Badly written code is more evident than in other languages<br />8. Possibility to extend language with language itself and CPAN. Old Python-style OO system is considered outdated - Moose took it's place. Devel::Declare allows adding new keywords. CPAN has modules even for type safety. Source filters allow adding new languages (I created a module for Perl6-style comments, but not yet released yet). Inline::* family allows integrating code in other languages.<br />9. Good readability (see http://www.slideshare.net/osfameron/readable-perl-presentation/ )<br />10. Very widespread and usage continues to rise.
