Many telecommunication companies, like Alcatel, in Chennai are extensively using Perl for their internal testing. I used Agilent tester for our network router testing, in that, for some of the custom test plans, I have to use Perl.

Re: [Ilugc] perl toughest language or easy ?
hi to all Hello.. anyone can tell is there any active meetups will be held to discussion about perl ? AFAIK their is no existing user groups or meetups happening for Perl in Chennai. What you would say?, if we could start one. becuase for the last few months am seeing there is not even single person posting the doubt about perl ? could be. i heard that Perl is toughest language and it take long time to understand (Ex:some yrs) is it How far is it true ? In that case the Chinese and the Japanese are though. Until and unless one's learn it. what about the current openings for perl programmers as a freshers ? available or not ? a Skilled Programmers could sell any where. Perl is no where lesser than any thing in that case. please suggest experts ! Good luck to you, thank u bye take care Thanks. -- Ravi Jaya Mob: 97909 16181 Site: www.ravijaya.info ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Coming to the other part - I am willing to organise one or two days event on perl. Can we? Thanks Raman...yes, please. Is it going to be classroom training? if yes, I look forward to that and would like to enroll (and as a separate note, event in saturday/sunday is preferred) ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
Re: [Ilugc] perl toughest language or easy ?
I would think that's because nobody is learning perl anymore. These days only old perl programmmers exist. That's because in this age of quick cpus, fast net connections, and UIs for everything from network configuration to backup tools, there is no real reason to learn perl. Especially since the advent of easier and altogether more fun languages like python. right but one must remember there are large number of systems still very much has Perl dependency in many investment banks/financial institutions (not sure about other verticals/businesses) since the migration (for example, Perl to Python) would take it's own course of time and folks who are driving/working on that must know Perl in detail for code review etc, to put it simpler: I still want to learn and looking forward Raman's session/training event :) as a side note, I think Simon Cozens _beginning-perl_ is also good place to get started: http://www.perl.org/books/beginning-perl/ if you have basic programming skills ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc

Re: [Ilugc] perl toughest language or easy ?
Perl is not dead. There is enough space for multiple languages to exist. Loot at http://search.cpan.org/recent to judge the number of modules created/updated every day. Certainly not all of them are written by old programmers. Look at other projects like catalyst framework, webmin, bricolage, movabletype blog, mojolicious, foswiki,webgui cms etc., to see how alive it is. Above all our KG's favourite search engine duckduckgo is also running on perl. I think another search engine blekko is also using perl. Hopefully perl6 will come soon to set at rest all the doubts.
