How many developers can maintain that "cryptic" Perl code?



Come over to the light...don't be afraid.



Chris



PS.  20 alpha characters...and about 25 special characters in that bit of
code.....hmmmmm, not going to say anything about that.

How many of those "non-cryptic" languages can dump a table 
to a CSV file in 2 lines of (readable ) code?



   while ( my $ary = $sth->fetchrow_arrayref ) {


      print  q{"} . join(q{","},@{$ary}) . qq{"\n};
   }



Come over to the dark side Chris.  ;)

Spaghetti code is easy to write...just throw some GOTOs in there.



I just have some issues with a language that has more special characters



in


it then alpha characters.



Sigh.  I miss the good ole days, COBOL, Fortran, Pascal, and even a
little


bit of BASIC...I guess that's why I enjoy PL/SQL.

I'll agree with Jared.  Given any programming or scripting language and
there's


some duhveloper out there who can make a completely obfuscated mess out
of


it. 


I was once told that it was impossible under Ada, boy did that ever get
retracted by the author in a hurry!!

DOH!!!!  Ouch...(limping along)...come on now.  Perl has won "awards"
for


it's "readability" and "maintainability".  I'm not slamming Perl, it has
saved my behind on W2K platforms, which has no real scripting language. 
And


I did advance order a copy of your book.  Not that I want to be a
Duhveloper...

Of course, you can say this about any programming or scripting language.



It all depends on the ability of the programmer.

On the other hand, you could write the entire Windows XP operating
system 


in


one line of Perl...including Internet Explorer.

Without a doubt - perl - get it free from www.activestate.com. Why use
it?


Well, it is so flexible compared to other NT/DOS scripting tools you'll
wonder why you never had it before! It's also portable meaning all those
scripts you write should work on multi platforms with just a little
tweak!
