Haha, pearl easy.....lmao. I don't know perl. But I know some students here at Maryland, who aced a course which requires you get every single character for output 100% correct in C++ (the course is known to fail well over 1/3 the class every time). While I'm straying from subject, they passed that course, and passed the course with Perl. The difference is that they hated pearl for large projects, because the syntax is deadly.

I actually prefer C versus C++ (call me crazy), and C has really terse styling and syntax. From what I've seen of Pearl, it can get REALLY nasty, really fast.

Okay, now that I've had my rant, let me conclude by saying I don't actually know perl, so i should probably be ignored
