in thread Why do people say 'Perl' is dead?!?!
Those who say Perl is dead are mostly purist software engineers. I am an Aerospace/Mechanical Engineer and Perl is absolutely one of those secret little gems that can make you a hero. I have been using Perl and Tk and now Tkx since the mid 90's and am self taught. I don't want to learn C++ since I'm not in Software. Perl fit the bill perfectly for manipulating large pieces of data and even doing scientific programming and since I know UNIX, Perl was very easy for me to learn.
Perl is alive and well and cherished by the non-software engineers. Only software purists will say Perl is dead.
