At least you learned how to spell Perl this time.

Quick! name another book by this author without using a search engine.

>>58558963
Adding unicode operators like ÷. Unless you mean perl5.

Too many Parsers (without MARPA edition), too little Else, aka the Faggon Book

Manipulate images, sounds, machine learning, etc.

From the writers of "Web Development with Assembly", presenting "Machine learning with Perl".

It's called a typo.

... Nothing they're both Turing complete.

>>58559857
That doesn't mean shit. Magic the Gathering is turing complete as well.

In real life, mathematical implications don't matter.

>>58559875
>That doesn't mean shit.
Yes it does
>Magic the Gathering is turing complete as well.
No it isn't
>In real life, mathematical implications don't matter.
Yes they do
0/3 see me after class.

write a fizzbuzz, it ain't /g/ if there's no fizzbuzz

awk:

#!/usr/bin/awk -f
{
    for (i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
        if (i % 15 == 0)
            print "FizzBuzz";
        else if (i % 3 == 0)
            print "Fizz";
        else if (i % 5 == 0)
            print "Buzz";
        else
            print i;
    }   
}

Perl:

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

for (1..100) {
    if ($_ % 15 == 0) {
        print "FizzBuzz\n";
    } elsif ($_ % 3 == 0) {
        print "Fizz\n";
    } elsif ($_ % 5 == 0) {
        print "Buzz\n";
    } else {
        print "$_\n";
    }
}

I write Perl for a living - I don't think you can do that with awk.

How to learn regexp magic?

What is "that"?

well it does work for their python brethren

>>58559857
I hate this argument.
1. Literally everyone knows about Turing completeness and knows that virtually all languages are Turing complete.
2. It doesn't contribute anything to the discussion, even for someone who wouldn't know about it.
3. It's not even factually correct. It doesn't mean the languages are equivalent or that they can be exchanged with each other. That's as dumb as saying that you don't need a new computer because your old one is Turing complete.
4. If we're going to apply the level of hair-splitting that is required for this argument to bear any relevance, it's not even factually correct given that no machine running either language has an infinite amount of memory.

>>58563218
One might be faster than the other at some task but them both being turing complete means they are generally interchangeable.

For instance, you could generate html with either of them.

>>58562536
write awk for a living, obviously

>>58560965
Practice makes perfect. You should find a project which requires lots of text parsing and have someone who already knows regex review it.

>>58562536
>>58563337
Yep
