Perl Progamming/scripting Insighting discussion on Perl

Recommended Posts

Hi there, I like using Perl for programming. Most of the work I do with it eventually involves the web. I don't use it in a CGI environment though, I use it as a tier two processing language. How do you use perl (if at all), or why do you not like perl vs. your preferred language?Thanks,Kristofer Hoch-----------------"Not a Perl Biggot"

I do use Perl for CGI because it is the only thing my current webhoster allows other than javascript, and I prefer CGi to javascripts for filling out forms and need it for login purposes. I also use perl for quick little scripts I need to write, and was working on a chat program for it. I gave that up when every program I wrote would hang on the $socket -> listen(); command. I use WinPerl and if you ave any suggestions I would appreciate them. I also use many other languages, especially assembly. It really just depends on my mood.
