Jonathan has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I was decoding some Geek code (what a pitiful confession) and saw the following line
I use Perl for all programs of less than a thousand lines.
My first Perl program was about 5000 lines and worked better than I'd hoped. I would happily use Perl for any programming task and have some very large database feed systems to write (approx 20,000 lines). Is my faith in Perl justified or should I dust off my 'C'?
"We are all prompted by the same motives, all deceived by the same fallacies, all animated by hope, obstructed by danger, entangled by desire, and seduced by pleasure." - Samuel Johnson
