As Perl's becoming less popular, webspace with real perl interpreter can be quite costly.

Prove it or shut up. And, I mean prove that a webserver with Perl installed is more expensive to operate than a webserver with ASP installed. Otherwise, you are spouting shit from your ass and I am not your toilet.

it's already loads of readymade code (beginners can use script archives as a first step to it)

I hope you aren't referring to the plethora of crappy code on the web that contributes to massive security holes ...

Anyway, I hope Perl 6 will not be too complex.

Fuck off. And I mean that in the worst possible way. If you don't want complex, go code in VB. I program in Perl precisely because it's complex ... when I need it to be. It makes the hard things easy and the impossible things merely hard.

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
