I'm glad the PM community mostly agrees with me that this is a meditation worthy of reading. I don't agree with you, though, jimt, that the language needs whacking to become more like PHP. I do agree that the reputation and perception of Perl needs repair.

What I'd like to see is that you take the knowledge and experience you obviously have, and apply your passion to writing a book that describes the elegant and practical subset of TMTOWTDI and CPAN that will make bells ring deep and resonant notes in noobs, PHBs and Perl gurus alike. If you're afraid to go it alone, set up a mailing list or wiki devoted to such a discussion. This was a good start, but it's going to take a bit more than this to convince the whole worldwide Perl community to wear Prussian helmets and jackboots... or even Mercury's winged shoes. ;^D

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
