[comp.lang.perl] Is perl a pearl only to heavyweight C programmers?

gt8963a@prism.gatech.EDU (MCCARTNEY,JEFFREY ELWOOD) (05/03/91)

I'm reading so much about Perl in this conference but it sounds like
C programmers talking.  Is perl viable for programmers who don't live
in the C?  I'd like to hear from programmers who never got the hang
of C.  And will perl catch on?  And what's it good for in an application
environment.  And compare its learning curve to other languages.
No perl experts either, that were once other language experts.

Thank you.
