| Just a simple survey. As a perl fan, I'd like know what's make you are =
so
enthusiastic with perl. As for me, I vote the smart data structure =
design:)

the CPAN, regular expressions, and autovivification

| Well, if I'm allowed select more than one, I will add regular expressions and
context semantics. Regex support of perl is the de facto standard, power and
easy use. The context semantics make perl do just as I want to do.

| Regular expressions absolutely. In my experience, the only languages
with reasonable regex support that aren't Perl copy Perl, and the
replacement of other tools with Perl is largely made possible by this
facility.
I like this a lot too, but I'm a newbie: $_

| In my case Regular expressions and the working with file (whether read or
right) is the best in Perl.
Infact the reading and writing of contents to a file no matter how big it is
will happen very fast.
Thanks

I'd have to go back to my first experiences with perl to answer that (since then I've found a lot of different advantages). The thing which
originally caused me to adopt perl for the sort of utility administrative scripts I do is the ease with which text can be parsed and manipulated.

I think both questions are silly. I like Perl because it's Perl and I
like ... oh wait, she's not ... anyway. Just like poets can go to
great lengths describing their loved ones, we could all babble for
hours about CPAN, regexp support, anonymous subroutines and closures,
feature-loaden arrays and hashes, autovivification, context,
syntactic shortcuts, Tim Toadiness, garbage collection, true block
scoped variables, namespaces and the power of namespace
manipulation, eval(), ...
