   Well ... glad to see my opinion of Perl is
   not unique  :-)

   Way back I bought the usual "Learn Perl" book with
   the camel on the front. About two chapters in I
   said "WHY ???".

   I've had to tweak a few Perl scripts that for
   SOME reason other developers used in their apps,
   but it's NOT pleasant. As I remember "ZoneMinder"
   uses some Perl - and sometimes you need to tweak
   some lines to get best performance ......

   ZM is a pretty good app - but CAN be a horrible
   CPU/mem hog if you don't set everything perfectly.
   The docs are only JUST so good at explaining how
   to set everything perfectly ....
