1 But its a P programming language.

As in it starts with P ! You like all the languages that start with P.

2 I haven't had to deal with it much since college, but I remember it being amusingly counterintuitive. Everyone I work with seems to have dabbled in Perl and rolls their eyes when it's mentioned.

I think there's actually an I-hate-Perl song out there somewhere,to the tuneof "Pearl Necklace" by ZZ Top.

4 Perl - Best. Language. Ever.

But for what, exactly?

5 Fast pattern matching is the reason I love it. It's also ridiculously easy to spit out scripts to do whatever you want done fast. The LWP module makes it good for scraping pages in any way you desire, quickly and efficiently.

Also, it's fun to say. There are plenty of other languages that can do whatever perl can do, perhaps better in some instances. But you can do anything with perl reasonably well, and write the script very quickly. If I had three hands, it would get three thumbs up from me.

6 For any kind of administrative work, data processing, and for that matter for most web scripting, Perl is a fantastic language. Once you can program idiomatically in Perl, you can do any of those things quickly and easily.
For general application work, or for interactive web pages, there are better languages (like Objective C and Java, respectively).
You know what I'd really like? An explicitly object-oriented Perl (where it's not grafted on), with the ability to compile the resulting programs and also the ability to embed them (compiled or not) into web pages like Javascript. Mmmm... programming goodness...

7 For any kind of administrative work, data processing, and for that

And anyone who has to maintain your code will hate you forever.

That's the point.

I've done enough coding in Perl. Yes, it's fast, easy, powerful, flexible. And programs written in Perl STINK.
For general application work, or for interactive web pages, there are
better languages (like Objective C and Java, respectively).

You sir, are a masochist.

8 The night of the fight, you may feel a slight sting. That's pride f*cking with you. F*ck pride. Pride only hurts, it never helps.

10 The timeless style and quality <a href="http://www.hermesbirkinsbags.com"><strong>Hermes Birkin Bags</strong></a>construction of Hermes Birkin handbags mean I have no guilt over how many are in my closet, since I know they’ll last a lifetime and always look chic. The current piece I have my eye on is the Hermes Birkin Bag 35 Croc Leather Black Silver. It is very simple, but not to the point that it looks so boring. Rather, it makes this bag even more refined and sophisticated, and needless to say versatile. Priced for $369.00 at , this functionally-chic Hermes bag would surely be a lasting choice of <a href="http://www.hermesbirkinsbags.com"><strong>Hermes Kelly Bags</strong></a>carryall.
