Hello all dear monks,
I'm a Computer Science student, and I'm taking a Concepts of Programming Languages course.
I've been asked to write a report (In a group) detailing a language of my choosing, I chose Perl since I heard Larry Wall talk about the 5 languages everyone should learn about and Perl caught my attention.
I just thought I might find some help here regarding an overview of the language and maybe somewhat of an evaluation or cost considerations.
Just some headers or resources would be fine, I don't expect any one to write the report for me or anything ;)
Many a thank wisdom Perl Monks.

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.
