( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

whether or not it is worth the effort of writing a program in perl

It's hard to see why you would choose to use any language that you found an effort. I use Perl because it makes the tasks that I use it for easier than otherwise. I use Tk when I need a light weight user interface for something that I am using Perl for.

Perl has tremendous advantages for solving many sorts of small tasks very quickly. In general Perl is not best suited to large flagship applications that require native look and feel GUIs.

You haven't provided near enough information for us to actually help you make a decision, but by now I think we have provided you with a huge amount of information to provide guidelines for that decision.


Perl is Huffman encoded by design.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
