>>3 awk is better designed, but simpler and less useful. but that is no excuse to use perl. there are many other languages you can use, like python. python is shit, but still an order of magnitude better than perl.

>>4 I've tried learning python, several times in fact, but I can never stick with it. Everything is just so much easier in perl.

>>5 i've tried learning perl, but i can never finish perl books. perl is badly designed and perl book authors are too annoying. python is simpler, can be learned more easily.
