iI guess it's about time I bite the bullet and learn perl. Michael | |
iConrad posted a link to his blog [0] about his absolutely | |
iincredible car project where he's designed a custom dash that's | |
iactually a little linux machine. He's done just about everything | |
iin perl 5 and opened my eyes to some of its power. | |

iI've always thought of perl as a write-only (because the syntax is | |
iso dumb) glue language. Since I'm so comfortable with shell | |
iscripting, it seemed like an unnecessary step to take. It seems | |
ithat some of that syntax has gotten better, and the way it | |
iinteracts with c is pretty cool. Availablity on a huge range of | |
isystems is a plus. | |

iI found a few decent quickstart guides. I'll give this a go. | |
