Ah ok.. That is better..

I don't think Perl is the perfect tool for every job.. If I did I wouldn't be drooling over a PHP version of this forum..

I use to be a sys admin, and with out the help of Perl my job would have been a living nightmare.. Yes I had other languages to choose from, but why use 4 langs for the job when Perl alone will do the job of all of them as good or better? -- Any functionality that doesn't exist in the base install of perl can always be added in as a module (and if you look, you will see that a module exists for almost every thing you can thinkg of)
