in reply to What's so unique about Perl?

I could give reasons, but it'd be somewhat dishonest, because I can't give reasons for liking Perl any more than I can give reasons for liking my favorite bourbon (say). For better or worse, I just enjoy programming Perl.

Maybe you can come up with some simple problem and tell the person: "First solve it with Java, then learn enough Perl to solve it with Perl, and see for yourself."

    Bourbon and Perl - sounds like a dangerous combination!
