I find the perl syntax easier than python



I like perl. I've reading about python lately, which I found a little
annoying, and, today, I picked up Learning Perl and read a few
chapters. I like it. I think python is perhaps intended for someone
who hadn't programmed before, although, personally, I think it
somewhat fails at that. Perl, on the other hand, for someone who likes
shell, grep and awk, like I do, seems intuitive.

I also like the versatility of the syntax. That said, although it's
versatile, it also seemed consistent.

Python just annoyed me a little. It was just inconsistent.
