I guess it's about time I bite the bullet and learn perl. Michael | |
Conrad posted a link to his blog [0] about his absolutely | |
incredible car project where he's designed a custom dash that's | |
actually a little linux machine. He's done just about everything | |
in perl 5 and opened my eyes to some of its power. | |
I've always thought of perl as a write-only (because the syntax is | |
so dumb) glue language. Since I'm so comfortable with shell | |
scripting, it seemed like an unnecessary step to take. It seems | |
that some of that syntax has gotten better, and the way it | |
interacts with c is pretty cool. Availablity on a huge range of | |
systems is a plus. | |
I found a few decent quickstart guides. I'll give this a go. | |
