I did not even started. Although I do like Perl, in some sense :-).

I did not event say one reason or compared. All I wanted is to hear reasons to
learn that new language. Take for example Microsoft, they changed Managed C++
to CLI\C++. Do you know how much it will cost to the industry? But I
have an article,
from Herb Sutter that explains what has been changed and why I should
switch to it.
If you have some resources like this - I'd like to read it.
