Perl is not the root of all things. I think you'll find computer science got there first.

As for associative arrays and regular expressions, I think Perl blatantly nicked those from awk!

The problem I have is that Perl is the "jack of all trades, yet the master of none".

I'm fed up of the Perl monk(|ie)s preaching like religious nutbags every 5 minutes. I'm tired of hearing it. I'm tired of oh perl is jesus' sandals.

It's a WAS not an IS.
