If there is one language I love unequivocally, it is Perl.
I like the TIMTOWTDI (tim tow tidi).
I have applied it to solve the most difficult problems easily.

Confession: I don't like Perl,
though I do like a lot of things about it.
So I cornered Mike Cowlishaw at SHARE some years back (93?)
and asked his opinion of it. To my shock, he was very positive.
He likens the Perl community to the REXX community. But he either
didn't really know the language itself, or he likes it.
(As for me, I think it is fine, just ugly.)
