Is it not a popular scripting language?

Becuase in our forum nobody post atleast a single post here....

Well, PERL is an extremely popular scripting language which is well known for its string handling abilities. Here's as a quote which explains what PERL stands for ,
Any application for which string handling is needed PERL is used.

As far as why nobody has posted about it is concerned the following could be the reasons.
1)This PERL subforum was started hardly a week back
2)PERL is mainly used in Unix environment. Not too many Unix programmers are around here. (Atleast I felt so)

Just give a search for PERL in Google. You search result count will cross a million! That's the popularity of PERL! You will get a lot of documentation about PERL. That's not at all a problem!
