Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Perl - Was unix time conversion function
Now that's what I call a "Perl Breakdown!!" ...A nervous breakdown brought
on by pathological eclecticism. The cure for this is a healthy dose of
Python. It is truly refreshing!!

Cary.... I once thought I wanted to do some Perl coding... So I bought a book and started to play with it. It made my head bleed... literally I had little droplets of blood emerging from my head.... They rushed me to the hospital and put me in the Perl ward where I languished for days on IV's of Mountain Dew and pulverized Ritz crackers..... it was close.
In my mind there is nothing obvious about Perl, this coming from and old C coder who did pointers and linked lists in his sleep years ago. I don't know, maybe I was having a bad day and it's time to get my "learning Perl" book out again....
Anyone else feel that way about Perl or am I a lone wolf in a Perl world?
