My question here seems somewhat negative. But really speaking I would like to check if Perl can challenge any language in the world. Personally I am convinced that everything can be done in Perl. for .e.g.&lt;br&gt;
In case of Pattern Matching Perl is better than Omnimark&lt;br&gt;
In case of Front-Ends on Windows, Perl Tk is as good as VB&lt;br&gt;
Perl CGI is as good as ASP&lt;br&gt;
In case of any other application which C /Java do, Perl can also do it as well (You can use C code in Perl, which improves it's strength)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
May be is some other PL is taking less Loc to code, Perl would take more Loc, but I think Perl can do all kinds of jobs. So can someone tell what Perl Can't Do, which any other PL is doing right Now?&lt;br&gt;
All kinds of Criticism is welcome&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Update:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I agree with &lt;i&gt;serf&lt;/i&gt; and lot of people that, it is Not advisible to do Lot of things in Perl, but my question is (it may sound crzay)&lt;br&gt; 
if you are given only 'Perl' and told to work on any assignment, irrespective of loc/complicated designs then what are the things which you (or rather Perl) would Not be able to do at all.&lt;br&gt;
