Why I like Perl

A recent LiveJournal entry from pozorvlak is a really great essay on several of the good points that Perl has to offer. It pretty much touches on all the reasons why Perl is flat out awesome and will stay awesome for a long time to come - not the least of which is CPAN. When you have such a comprehensive, and easy to access repository of so much code for your language, you save developers many many hours of coding time and add endless value.
