Re: Comparing Regular Expression in Perl vs Python

!toppost not do Please

I'll one more. Maybe there are more places to ask about Perl than
Python. So the community is spread out around more lists and forums.
(Say perlmonks.org)

To get a meaningful number we'd have to to total the numbers of posts
in all Python and all Perl lists&forums.

it may mean that fewer people ask questions about perl because

1) perl is easier to use
2) perl is more mature and people are more versed in it
3) python is newer so more people are unfamiliar with it
4) people are afraid to ask questions on the perl list for fear of being told to RTFM

I also subscribed to python list, found that python list's message
amount is much larger than perl beginner's. I almost got 100 messages
each day in that list. Does this indicate that python has more users
than perl?
