Anyone love Perl?

[mdipi]

This language is FUN! and its sooo easy to get used to! If you know PHP you will catch onto Perl very fast and its just great!

Anyone else love Perl?

<?
while(1) {
echo "php > all.<br />";
}
?>
:P

Im not too familiar with Perl actually. Is it sort of like cgi? because movabletype uses it when it's in the cgi-bin. I hear python is god - hard to master, but as powerful as god.

<?php
$connection1 = fsockopen ("python.org", 80);
$connection2 = fsockopen ("perl.org", 80);
while (1) {
fsenddata ("foobardgflhgsfdlgjsklfjghklfsdhgksjfdhgksjhfdlg You are being DoSed", $connection1);
fsenddata ("foobardgflhgsfdlgjsklfjghklfsdhgksjfdhgksjhfdlg You are being DoSed", $connection2);
}
echo ("So you see, PHP rules all :P");
?>

I love Perl.

For instance... count the number of times each character appears in a file:

type file.txt | perl -e "@a = split(q{}, join(q{}, <>)); foreach (@a) { $b{$_}++; } foreach (sort (keys %b)) { print qq{$b{$_} $_\'s\n}; }"

That's just beautiful IMO... :)

@om3ga: I think your footer is using all my CPU.

while 1: can be more readable than other constructs ;)

I like Python more - Perl can be good for quick one-liners though.

$connection1 = fsockopen ("python.org", 80);
$connection2 = fsockopen ("perl.org", 80);
while (1) {
fsenddata ("foobardgflhgsfdlgjsklfjghklfsdhgksjfdhgksjhfdlg You are being DoSed", $connection1);
fsenddata ("foobardgflhgsfdlgjsklfjghklfsdhgksjfdhgksjhfdlg You are being DoSed", $connection2);
}
echo ("So you see, PHP rules all :P");
?>
You know, if you have while(1), you'll never have that echo statement executed :P
