One of the advantages of python is that it can write code with good
style, everyone's code looks the same.but for perl's code style, oops
you can think of that...
Many guys learned perl and were confused for perl's context concept. I
remembered a guy asked,
@x = (1,2,3);
@y = (2,3,4);
$a = @x;
$b = @y;
surely $a == $b, but why not @x == @y ?
Some guys answered him. But he was not satisfied with all the answers,
finally he switched to python and threw up some dirty words on perl
(google it with the keyword of "perl是一种邪教").
ok I said some OP words here, it doesn't mean I like python more than
perl. In fact I have used perl for about 5 years, I like it than any
others.
I've been using Perl for only about 1.5 years, and never touched Python.
About 16 months ago, I decided to learn a "scripting language" that
I've heard mentioned so many times. I was debating between Perl and
Python. I'm not quite sure why I chose Perl. I know that several open
source projects allow Python plugins (Gimp, InkScape) but Perl can be
used for CGI stuff. (If Python also does CGI, I never heard it.) So I
chose Perl.
Being that I was already familiar with C/C++, Perl was fairly simple
to pick up. I read a couple of tutorials and pretty quickly was using
perldoc as my main source of information. While Perl does have some
quirky stuff, overall I found it easy to learn and very capable of
doing a lot without a lot of coding effort.
After being "part" of the mailing list for a bit, I learnt not to post
without first checking perldoc/cpan, so that may as well be a factor
for the mailing list's lack of activity.
