in thread future of perl in 2010

for the new programmer, is Perl the way to go?

I agree to rovf that the first programming language shall be easy to learn.However it shall also be "useful" - meaning: widely used.

The Tiobe Index tries to measure the popularity of programming languages - any one of its top-ten should be a good choice. And Perl is one of those :-)

HTH, Rata

    I refuse to see anything of value in the Tiobe Index, because their methodology is totally broken. That holds true even when they say good things about Perl.
    Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.
