Well done and thank you to everyone putting out Perl releases and working on this still great language. Way back in the 90's I had the misfortune to use C to process large amounts of textual information (addresses), cleaning it up before shovelling into a database. I wish I had had the good fortune to have found Perl back then.


In the late 90s I learnt Perl precisely because I didn't want to do a job in C (simple CGI stuff) and it was the only other alternative on the particular server I was working on.
