in reply to Perl as one's first programming language

public static void main still doesnt mean that much to me. I really love java, but it feels very bulky for a lot of jobs with which I am tasked. These are the same jobs which perl makes very easy. I learned C in parallel with perl. It is my opinion that this is a nice approach- perl actually makes a lot of things possible with out too much effort, and C allows you to do things very efficiently, using menory manipulation and pointers, avoiding some of the black box feel which perl gives.
