progress in learning Perl (lemmy.ca)

Hello,

I started learning Perl some time ago I also made a IRC bot using it however it is a very simple and basic bot but it's something I made using Perl :D

I also stumble upon some language quircks of Perl it's has bash vibes where if you don't do things right way it punishes you. eg, when you forget to quote your parameter expansion and bash performs word spliting and you are confused what's wrong!

so now I learned I language which I can use to manipulate text :D

Have you considered raku? I'm not super familiar with perl but I assumed raku is perl improved

I haven't tried raku TBH, I have only heard about it. Is the syntax is significantly different than Perl?

Yes its a different language by the same creator.
