  • I remember your previous post, congrats on not giving up.

    Whipping up a script to solve a very specific problem is super satisfying, but I found that anything you write quickly becomes a liability. Debugging Perl can be super difficult, especially when returning to something you wrote a while back.

    Personally I grew tired of the punishment and left it all behind! If I need a quick script I’ll use Python instead, and if it doesn’t work I can use a real debugger to fix it.

    In any case it’s always fun learning new things, I hope this experience ends up being useful to you in the future and you get to easily solve a problem that stumps everyone else involved.

    Cheers!
