I've tried quite a few Windows versions of Perl freely available on the net but this one is by far the easiest to install:

  • So you already know Perl? What kind of applications are you going to be using it for?

  • It's nice for converting Excel files into webpages. And other cheap hacks like running accelerator experiments (which I don't really do anymore).

  • I don't do much of that.. LOL. In fact I do none of that! You can build search engines with perl too, isn't that what google is based on?

  • Actually, I think Google's software is written entirely in pseudocode.

  • Nice laptop

  • @wogsland Most of google's software is written in Python.

  • Google's written in Python, actually.

  • I was talking to the Project Manager of Strawberry Perl earlier, and he said that ActivePerl has it's pros compared to Strawberry Perl, but Strawberry Perl has a CPAN installer etc.

  • what makes it so much better? does it auto-set the path to perl for you?

  • What makes it so much better than regular perl? Does it auto-find the path?

  • I must remember to video myself logging into my computer - it's just as interesting :(

  • pretty much anything you want, Perl is still driving unix based world, perl has mojority of the C libraries ported, so you may write daemons, crons, random DB cleanup actions, CRM's, API's, XML processing engines, etc... there is no limit of what you can or cannot write in perl, sometimes you just have to ask yourself a question if its worth writing it in perl, because there might be other languages that can make your life simpler :)

  • google backend is built in python

  • shaky camera, shaky camera, shaky camera. What? Did you say something?
