    I agree that there should be one. Some people who use Microsoft software also use Perl, and the site has some articles on Perl. Perl also doesn't represent a major threat to anything that Microsoft does, like Java or Linux. In my experience, Perl on Windows is often the tool of choice for service providers on Windows (I've worked for a couple of web hosting companies). Regards, Jeff Varszegi

        Well, it is used in web pages, but it can be used for any general scripting task; I've only worked with it long enough to fix a couple of other people's bugs myself. The thing is, it's used by an awful lot of transplanted Unix programmers for productivity reasons, and I can't thing of another such full-featured quick scripting tool for automating things on Windows. I think it's a little more mature than VBScript, although I guess with VBScript you can always do CreateObject to create a COM object; I don't really know, that's not my cup of tea. I just don't think that the notion of a Perl message board should necessarily be dismissed out of hand. The reality is that lots and lots of people use Perl on Windows. If this is a Microsoft advertisement and fan site, then maybe it shouldn't be allowed; if, however, the goal is to provide the best possible site for programmers working with Microsoft stuff, then it makes sense to include it.

VB is i guess slowly been phased out... (Thats what i think coz one guys VB article was not accepted) Well, perl i really dont know much what it can do and what not... so no comments on perl itself. but i dont think chris is going to consider that. There are so many hot technologies around that can be also included, but since this site is all bout VC++,there is little chance for Perl forum.

            My dear Mr.Prakash! Since you don't know about Perl and guess you also have not a very good idea about codeproject. As U exclaim this to be VC++ centric website. I do appreciate your love for VC++ and CP, but just drum it into your mind that compnaies do use Perl for it's Windows device drivers. So if this site is promoted by MS, it should include Perl forum also. And one more tip to U Win32+Perl = you are king of system programming. cheers! siddharth

                  "CP is VC++ centric wheather you like it or not and you will hear the same thing from most of the ppl here." I waiting for the reply, by the way just got in support ;) "how many companies 1,2 or do they use DDK for Developing Device Drivers. I am not aware of DD being developed using Perl." I am not the right person to judge your awareness, but when you think about product development (which include search engines), perl,python and PHP is inevitable. But since microsoft support Perl, hence I suggested. "Then i would suggest forums for DDK, DirectX, ODBC, OpenGL, MFC, Win32SDK, GDI/GDI+, etc,etc." Ofcourse, you are welcome to give your suggestions a separate thread will be a better option. As at this depth, ur suggstion may not bubble out to the top. cheers Sid

Well i didnt make a "Suggestion" for the forums, i know those forums are not required, existing forums well statisfy the requirements for Visual C++.

One day there will be forum of Perl here as this is CodeProject not VC++CodeProject, and we both will charish it. God and dog both are made of three words.

                              Because Perl has nothing to do with Visual C++/Microsoft. :-)
