in thread Perl as a first language
-It is not the solution to every problem out there (How many AI modules do -you see for Perl? 1: AI::NeuralNet::BackProp).

The people that I learn programming stuff from replaced LISP and Prolog with Perl. They find it easier to use and just "way bitchin' cool." Inference engines work just fine in Perl. --moo
