in reply to Since I discovered Perl, I've given up:

Worrying about how I was going to get something done. I was always reasonably sure that between C, Java, sed, awk, bash, and Tcl/Tk, I would be able to get just about anything done that I needed to, but with Perl, I'm ALWAYS positive that there is a way, and that it won't take much to learn how to implement. And thanks to this place, I'm doubly sure of the latter.
