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

Perl is excellent for text manipulation! I use it time from time when I need to do more advanced text manipulation in bash. perl -ne ‘[code goes here]’ is good for making one liners in bash.
