<p>Maybe you're in a project that needs to process some text. Maybe you're
tempted to say &quot;Let's use Perl&quot; 'cause you know that Perl is very strong in
processing text.</p>
<p>But that may still be not the right tool.</p>
<span id="continue-reading"></span>
<p>Although Perl is an amazing tool to process files, providing every single
switch and option you'll ever need, you're missing something: You're working
on a C shop. Everybody knows C, not Perl.</p>
<p>Sure, if it is a small, &quot;on the corner&quot; kind of project, it's fine to be in
Perl; if it is important for the company, it's better that if it is a C
project.</p>
<p>One of the reason your hero project may fail is because of this: You may even
prove that what you thought it was a better solution is actually a better
solution, but it can't be applied 'cause nobody else can maintain it.</p>
