Hello Gurus,
I have a question regarding perl.
They say perl is very powerful language and it is highly useful to play
around in database development/maintenance. Although I am a db2
developer, i hardly used perl till now.
Under what scenarios do we usually perl ? What is something that perl can
do (may be faster ?) and other languages like awk and tool like sed
cannot do ?
I believe with awk and sed combination, we should be able to pretty much
do lot of shell scripting.
I want somebody to negate me with few specific examples. I highly
appreciate any kind of input that you provide.
Looking forward to know more from the gurus.

Thanks.
