Hello again Anonymous Monk,

I did not cancelled them, I just strike them through (HTML Tag.) as irrelevant to your question.

I love Perl and in general high level programming languages because they provide the use of modules. When I started coding years ago, I started with C language. For me that was the lowest level language that I started learning. On C you need to implement everything step by step and define everything very specifically. Perl has the beauty that you can call a module for example File::Find::Rule and you can simply use a method from the module by just using one line and you will get the desired output.

With other programming languages e.g. C you can still do that creating your own function and calling it but you need to do all the coding yourself. This will increase the possibility of having flaws/bugs on your program/script and also you will consume a lot more time.

So Perl for my point of view provides you this advantage among others :)

Remember when you have a problem Google is your friend, read many solutions to your problem try to understand them and try them. This way you will learn much more on the flow. Always check past questions on this forum through Super Search you will find great examples. :)

Hope this helps, BR.
