grep-like code search tool ack has been updated to v3.8.0. It's available on CPAN as App::Ack, or at https://beyondgrep.com/
The big new feature is that you can have boolean matches on the line.
bash ack this --and that --and other and this --or that --or other ack this --not that --not other

Hi everybody!
I am interested in learning the basics of programming in general, and I am looking for a good first language. I am very impressed by perl's abilities in formatting strings, something which is very difficult in C. Does perl not teach something necessary about general programming? I am not looking to learn OOP or functional programming specifically, just to get the basics down. I can then adapt these basics to other languages. So, has anyone learnt perl as their first language? Why would one recommend against it? I want to hear your opinions. Thank you for reading all this!
My thanks!
