I agree with sibling monks who say it's not so important what you call it but whether it does the business. Perhaps Perl isn't a programming language. Perhaps it's not even, speaking technically and precisely, a language at all. But it's what everybody uses to do stuff.
When I was in merchant banking the traders had a phrase they used to put the people from economic research in their place. The researchers would go to the morning meeting and say "because of fundamentals this should go up and this should go down". Then the traders would ignore their advice. At the end of the day the traders would say "You were right: but you lost money". § George Sherston In reply to Re: Perl IS a programming language, right?
