I'm pretty new to programming - besides JavaScript, PHP is really the first
language I've used.
I'm just wondering, and I'm sure you all would know - should I learn Perl?
Is it considered a necessity for a web developer to know Perl, or is it not
a worthwhile endeavor, considering how easy PHP is to learn and use? Someone
I know told me not to bother, but I just wanted a second opinion.
(BTW - if you think it is worthwhile to learn Perl, what is a good book to
begin with?)
Thank you!
