Ask Larry Wall

Posted by Roblimo on from the from-the-master's-mouth-to-your-ear dept.

About what? Perl is probably a good topic choice. No one knows more about Perl than Larry Wall, right? We'll send 10 of the highest-moderated questions to Larry by email, and post his answers when we get them back. Note: Due to Slashdot's line length restrictions, lines of code over 50 characters long may not display correctly. Please be aware of this if you include code samples in your question.

    Every project has its own raison d'etre. I wouldn't expect Perl to be any different. Could you tell us a little about what problems you were trying to solve when you began work on Perl? Also, what were some of the big hurdles you had to clear along the way?
