Perl Rocks Latin American App Competition

I have…never heard this, and in the absence of anyone else’s opinion I’d assume the opposite. When I want to get something done quickly, Perl is one of my go-to languages. Of course, the final product might not be as maintainable as it could otherwise have been, but that’s to be expected when you focus on working code rather than pretty code.
