Then PERL should also run on a TIVO box - it uses Linux.

Well I might have disputed your "almost" dispute until I learned that Perl can run on my Sony PlayStation2 via Linux. (see: http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2002/03/21/linuxps2.html.)

OT: Anyone on the list ever run PlayStation on Linux?

The only thing I think I disagree with is the word "almost."

Perl is a full flege programming language, it can do almost anything such as Java or C++ can do. SQL*Plus or Shell is very limited in terms of functionalities.

Besides, Perl is portable language. Perl code runs on almost any platforms.

I've read a lot about PERL on this list. And, I am wondering what can you do with PERL that you cannot do with SQL*Plus, PL/SQL or Unix shell scripts?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much,
