Been doing work with Perl for the first time recently. I like it, a lot. I can't believe I've avoided it all this time. Obviously not the best for every possible application, but it was easy to learn the basics and now I'm chugging along really well. Lexical scoping is the shit; so much more intuitive, to me. More flexible data structures would be appreciated though. Maybe this will occur in 6. This is my meaningless blurb about Perl.
