I wrote Perl today for the first time in probably ten years. Not the most idiomatic nor the most beautiful Perl out there, but it got the job done 😅

@tkoola This may be the first mention of Perl I’ve heard in about the same amount of time. I last used it in my first year programming class as school, and haven’t since. Seems like it’s been taken over by other languages.

@pimoore yes, Perl never really survived the 5->6 transition and eventually Python and Ruby ate its “sys admin helper language” cake

@tkoola "gets the job done" sounds like 99% of the perl out there! 😆

@kitt haha, perfect. Same goes for PHP. You just type in something and it works 🙃
