in reply to Rules-based Perl?

The difference is imperative based programming vs functional programming. C/C++/perl/java are imperative, prolog miranda ASL (lisp at a push) (scheme at a push) are functional or rule based as you call them. Do web searches for functional and you will find NUFF info

I must confess I could never get my head around functional programming languages although I can certainly see the benifits.

A quick web search turns up the following links

Functional programming and free software
The functional programming FAQ
A perl module functional that allows for function like processing in perl (infinite lists etc) it is uses the term functional in a lisp sense more than the rule based sense. Your may like to look at this
There is even an interesting node on dear old Everything2

Hope these links are of use to you.
