The statement " I use Perl for all programs of less than
a thousand lines" does not, to me, say anything about
using it in longer programs. It just says "For short,
quick programming, I like Perl." There is no "but for long
programs, I like <language>."
Nothing about that statement indicates to me that the use
of Perl for short programs in any way precludes using Perl
for long programs. Therefore, use Perl in situations that
call for it, be they short or long, complex or simple.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
