Perl is a slut, but only for me.

I find Perl to be an excellent programming language. You see, I look at programming languages as girls. Low level programming languages are your nice, cute, efficient, and intelligent girls. But high level programming languages, these are the girls that will do the things the other girls won't do. And that's what Perl does better than anyone else. She's great for a quick and dirty job. She can deal with your mess and won't bitch about not declaring your function arguments. She doesn't care if your array has mixed variable types and she makes regular expressions look like child's play.

I love you C, and you're the one I want to marry, but sometimes I need me some Perl on the side.

Oddly enough, I'm okay with this.

fuck off and die, anti-GC fucktard

Too many $igils.

By your reasoning, PHP makes Perl look like a nun.

PHP is an AIDS infested whore who does disgusting shit no one who's not retarded would want her to do.

I've even heard she's been with some web developers.

PHP is for people with masochistic sexual fetishes.

Stop sexualizing her!!

The punchline is that those are all anime archetypes rather than real women with which >>1 has dealt.

Not really, no.

No one has ever been fired for choosing Perl.

perl's =~ regex syntax is beautiful
