what about you think about having a tool to help u to writing a perl scripts , itis a good deal huh .
tool meaning is some thing like a NetBeans for Java which make things easier making drag and drop and make the life easier .
Well, I guess that's the difference between opening a can of chili and serving it cold with some tired white bread toast and flat ginger ale on one hand, and on the other hand, mincing garlic and chopping onion by hand, throwing it onto some hot olive oil and following it with some fresh ground beef, sprinkling on some spices, some red wine and of course some hot sauce for flavouring, letting the whole mixture stew for an hour or two, adding some tomato paste, some kidney beans and perhaps some rich bouillon, letting it cook down a bit, maybe thicken up some, while you broil some sourdough bread, spread it with some real butter and serve hot with some icy cold beer.
Opening a can of something isn't the same as cooking something from scratch. I cook stuff from scratch, and that's the way I write a lot of my code too, unless you count all of the goodness that I get from CPAN -- but those guys are real chefs, and their recipes are well-tested by constant use.
A GUI is fine when you're learning, but I consider that kind of stuff training wheels. To get real work done, you gotta get down to the command line, to the raw ingredients. Really.
