    Hi, everyone. There is a perl section on Code Project which is almost dead. There are hardly if any code submissions in that section. My curosity leads me to ask that how many people here at Code Project actually progam in perl or know perl to start with. Thank You, Have a nice day ! Sarah:)

      Use quite a bit of it at work. Its one of those languages that is write once read never, because reg-ex's are like hieroglyphics. Despite that a very powerful tool if you have to put file parsers together very quickly. And it can be used like batch files which is nice. Its got a degree of portabliity, as long as you don't use machine specific code. There are mad poeple out there though that write entire GUI's in the thing though. MAAAADDD!!! Giles

        I use it at work. It's great for any job where you would use a batch file or script to do what you want. I prefer it to writting batch files because you can have control flow without gotos. I can read the regular expressions reasonablly well. Though I think regular expressions in perl are not a science or art but practically magic. :) I haven't written any GUIs with it, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm not mad. ;P Craig Dodge A catchy signature should appear here.

          I use it as a better batch file, writting database processing scripts, and for data processing scripts. As an example I wrote a simple perl script to update a version variable in a header file. I run that script each time I do a full build for release.

            I used to use perl a lot, but it's so damned hard to maintain---all those cryptic notations. I have switched to Python and never looked back. I find Python to be a more natural scripting language---object oriented, C-like syntax, forces you to think about layout. It's pretty hard to write obfuscated Python and even harder to write non-obfuscated perl.

                  I have checked out www.php.net quickly? What OS version can support PHP and is it enabled by default? Also any requirement for setuping the client other than typing the address to the page?

                    PHP4 is supported on Windows and various flavors of Unis. I don't know about Mac support. It's available as a module for Apache, IIS and the Netscape server. For the latter two, it's ISAPI and NSAPI compliant, so it's pretty efficient. Nothing's enabled by default - you need to install PHP. That being said, most web hosts offer PHP4 support for their Apache servers. No, there's nothing special required on the client side. The client just browses a .php page and is served up the result of the script. If you want to hide the fact that you're running a script, you can configure your browser to treat .PHP as a default extension. /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

                      PHP is primarily *nix based. You *can* get the binaries for Windows, but I most certainly wouldn't advise it. From php.net you can download the modules you need. ---- Xian
