  How does Perl compare with other languages like Java, Python, REXX, Scheme, or Tcl?
    Perl can be used for almost any coding problem, even ones which require
    integrating specialist C code for extra speed. As with any tool it can
    be used well or badly. Perl has many strengths, and a few weaknesses,
    precisely which areas are good and bad is often a personal choice.

    When choosing a language you should also be influenced by the resources
    <http://www.cpan.org/>, testing culture <http://www.cpantesters.org/>
    and community <http://www.perl.org/community.html> which surrounds it.

    For comparisons to a specific language it is often best to create a
    small project in both languages and compare the results, make sure to
    use all the resources <http://www.cpan.org/> of each language, as a
    language is far more than just it's syntax.
