But overall perl is ok. It does the job. It provides a good overall basic toolset. I try to avoid modules when possible, especially when not contained in perl core and thus giving up comfort, reimplementing things which are done in a better quality, for reducing Installation efforts needed and keeping Codebase small. (If you use modules, you may end up with other dependent modules).
This is precisely the reason I use, (occasionally now), Python. It is useful enough with its builtin libraries. I try to steer clear of those libraries that could be dependencies for any project, especially for the AMIGA.
I have not ignored this Perl project I will follow on soon with a drawing routine to join up the dots.
