"Perl is an amazing programming language. And, with its growing worldwide re-popularization"<p>Just because this guy says it is so, doesn't make it is so. Tell me <i>1</i> metric that tells me definitively Perl is coming back. If this guy told me Perl is never going away, I'd believe him, but when he told me Perl is <i>coming back</i>, with no data to back it up but his ass, and use that as an excuse to brain-wrap the next generation of programmers to think in an alien language that looks like comic characters cursing with $_@qw()<>$@{}*&lc()~>>>$.$/$<$:, I'd brand it as a trash.
