   You hadn’t mentioned it; you’ll have to tell me about it sometime.

   Perl is a good coding language, when I first started doing web stuff, I started with perl scripts for like a guestbook, counter, forum, etc. I think perl can be good if you somewhat know what you are doing and read over the script to understand it.

    Amusing how Perl haters think that Perl somehow forces you to write unreadable code. On the contrary, Java FORCES you to do things only one or two ways. In Perl, you can make your code look like any other language or you can make it unreadable – THAT’s THE POINT! Clueless people see the unreadable examples (written so that they can’t be read) and miss that point.

    You could take your cartoon and have the guy puking exception stack traces from uncompilable Java code when the programmer doesn’t conform to the exact way of doing things that Java expects. Now THAT would be realistic!
