slowly, line by line

it takes form, gains in power

syntax is vital

Cute. I've watched perl scripts forming before. Don't know how to write in it, but I recognized the title. Definitely an amusing surprise for those who don't know the difference between Perl and Pearl. :D

I want to comment, but at the same time, all I have to say is WTF? But not in a bad way, in more of an utterally lost and confused sort of way, like i'm totally missing something here that i should be getting but don't. My quest for knowlege however has led me to ask:

 

What is Perl?

 

If it's something that rquires a good deal of explainin, you can feel free to PM me, because I really hate feeling confused.

Thanks!

 

Perl is a language especially suited to working with text, doing things like searching for certain words, or replacing text, etc. Actually, that's just about .0001% of what it's good for, but that's what I'm working with right now, anyway..

 

Unfortunately, the inspiration is broken right now, so I'm beating my head out over it :angry:
