well it's not just the code that can get unmanageable, remember the language is interpreted. Large, complex perl code can really run slow. For small scripts it's definitely good, but that's pretty mcuh what it is designed to do. I don't think you'd want to develop an application in perl though, especially since anyone can just read your code and change it hehehe


Assembly is far far far worse than perl but then again it's much faster. I'm glad I'm not taking that course hehehe We did some MIPS assembly programming in my computer architectures class and i hated it.

btw, i got a little assembly question for ya... how do you swap 2 memory spaces without using any extra storage? My professor in operating systems class told us this as a side thing but my friend had it as a bonus on his Assembly class final hehehe good thing I mentioned it to him the night before... It was pretty cool too, I'm like oh yea you might want to know this little thing and it ended up saving his arse hehehe.
