Most programmers like Perl, because it "makes easy things easy and hard things possible." It is not the fastest-executing language (assembly) or the most stunning graphically (C++, Java), but it just might be the most versatile. Use Perl as a rapid-prototyping language, for routine UNIX© administration, and with the LWP module for all CGI, PHP, agent, and web-related tasks.
