This thing could go either way (but I disagree with your claim both ways).

Either you mean Perl is the only language that has all constructs/techniques that any other language has. That isn't true - for instance, Perl doesn't have continuations or co-routines. Or even POSIX regular expressions (always prefer to find the longest match instead of the first match).

Or you mean that Perl is the only language that can simulate or mimic constructs/techniques that any other language has. That isn't true either, because if it can be simulated in Perl, in can in C, as C is driving perl.

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.
