A lot of people have said what they don't like, but I haven't seen any limitations yet. Sure, you have to write more code, but Perl still hasn't stopped you from doing anything.

What is the method call performance stopping you from doing? I've found a lot of other things that are a lot slower than that, so I haven't had to worry about it. When I code Perl, I don't even think about the number of subroutines. It's not even an issue.

For anyone else who cares to post, I'd like to see a specific story about what you couldn't accomplish because Perl didn't have the power to do it. There are things that are annoying, but remember how good you have it. Merely being annoyed would be heaven to people working in other languages.

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.
