in reply to Use Perl wisely, not cleverly

The most poisonous view about Perl is that Perl would be able to deliver everything, and Perl would be able to compete with Java or ASP.NET.

Actually it does compete with them. Every day. Quite well too. And judging by the number of perlish features that were either built in, or sneaked in to them I'd say that at least a few non-morons (unlike yourself) in the respective companies are well aware of it, and doing their best to compete back.

Ultimately competetion like this is a good thing. If the next language I learn includes features from them all (perl6 ?) then my personal world will be a better place.

Incidentally do you plan to post your benchmarks, or is the assumption that most of us have made (that you are a jackass troll) correct?
