Re: I think Perl ruined me as a programmer

[apl]

For me, the beauty of Perl is in how hashes are an inherent part of the language. So much of what I've done in the past involved setting up / searching / storing hashes manipulated by libraries. Now *pffft*, the hash is there, the reference is obvious, etc.

Or, in other wordws, my programs only do what they're intended to. 8-)
