RE: Why would I learn PERL ??

If you choose software engineering as a career you'll prolly learn like 25 languages.  Perl is just so damn handy -- it's easy to do things you'll frequently want to do -- that it's likely to be one of them.  If you're not a software engineer, then Perl is a good language for casual programmers
