I find it particularly powerful for writing cgi programs. My first program in Perl is a quiz program - nothing complicated but it has made me realise perl's power. The learning curve for me was steep- being a self-taught "programmer" - but after I've overcome the initial hurdles, I'm beginning to enjoy it. I read that a new version is coming up - Perl 6 - and it will be a sort of rewrite of Perl 5. I'm looking forward to its alpha launch and can't wait to use it. My only hope is that Perl will still be Perl - the syntax will be preserved and so on. Many thanks for Perl! cheers, nick
