Perl is the rebel. The one walking sideways, using the unthinkable way of quickly solving the problem.
&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
Perl is politically incorrect in a polished world of VB, Java, Powerpoint presentations and Bullet points. (Management doesn't know how to read sentences with more than six words.)
&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
Someone said: "&lt;i&gt;Good Perl is hidden, and has no name.&lt;/i&gt;"
&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
Perl is what makes our inhouse VB programmers scream, saying that "&lt;i&gt;We should at all costs avoid that &amp;lt;disgust&amp;gt;scripting language&amp;lt;/disgust&amp;gt;&lt;/i&gt;". Because Perl solved the automation problem in just a small moment, where their VB application will require human intervention to do anything at all. (When and if they'll finish it. (Chuckle))
&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
Perl is frowned upon, by the suits. Perl disturbs, because it's politically incorrect, but still it just works and works.
&lt;BR&gt;
&lt;BR&gt;
Did I mention that I love Perl?
&lt;HR&gt;
Everything went worng, just as foreseen.
