Additional quotes by Larry Wall

If you want to program in C, program in C. It's a nice language. I use it occasionally...

I would estimate that the number of programs it breaks in the world will be less than 10. As long as one of those 10 isn't CGI.pm, we're probably okay.

Perl should remain fast and intuitive (to the extent that it is :-)
