It looks like there's nothing going on in Perth for Perl aficionados,
given that there's been little activity on the list for ages. But, is
everyone
just quiet, or is there anyone still out there?

I'm still here. Been doing a bit of perl recently in my free time too.

I'm here, but mostly inactive here. Not writing much Perl now, mostly
Python when I get to.


Should we shut this down?


Someone said to me today (in Sydney at AWS Cloud Warrior Briefing) that
makefiles are making a come back!!!

It was fun while it lasted Perl.
I will always remember you fondly.
But Ruby and Python are also very nice :)

I'm not quite ready to give up on Perl :).

Also, the group can still act as a place for making connections - there
still seem to be some lurkers here.

However, perhaps the PM page could be updated to say that no meetings are
currently scheduled :).

Unless, that is, we do want a meetup.

Peter

I've become much more enamored of Python than I originally was.
Ruby, not so much, but then I once thought that of Python.

Nothing compares to Perl, though.

I got tired of clients wanting PHP rather than perl so I ended up writing a
perl program to generate PHP web apps from template toolkit and perl. Perl
has still got it for me!

I like the idea of treating PHP as a "bytecode" output from Perl, it surely
can't be worse than some of the PHP that I've seen.
(Though, the worst was made that way by the giant, in-line SQL statements.)

Finding clients who still want stuff done in Perl seems to be a problem.
But at least we can still write our own Perl :).
