Hear Hear!!! After a brief early stint with Perl I ran off and became a C hacker. Now I can say I'm absolutely religious about Perl, but would not have fully appreciated it if it weren't for my other language experiences. Now knowing Perl, C, Java, and a bit of some others like Python, I have settled into using Perl when it makes sense (i.e., most cases) In some cases C is the most efficient or faster to code in (Yes, but depends on the problem...) orsometimes Java, etc. I think to be a really dynamic coder it's important to at least become familiar with the general structure/syntax of other languages so you know they may (unfortunately) be better than Perl for the given situation. My daily prayer is usually something like this "May the day's tasks best be handled by Perl, and save me from the abyss of C and any Java* not served in a cup. But then again, maybe I'm a little nuts. -Felonious In reply to Re: Re: Re: Choose the most powerful language
