I guess you didn't notice the smiley in my message...

I'm sometimes having hmm.. let's say "problems" ... understanding what I 
had written ~10yrs ago. Typically regexp-related. That's not a problem 
of the language, but a problem in my understanding as I don't use perl 
on a day-to-day basis.

I stated "I like it", and that's true. I dislike python on the other hand...

regards,
chris
