Thanks for keeping Perl alive!
This is a thank-you report for perl from ryan@boringtranquility.io,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.41 running under perl 5.30.1.


-----------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you! I started learning Perl just last week for the first time in earnest and I must say that it's a pleasure to use.

I'm reading the 2nd Edition of "Learning Perl" from July 1997 (supplemented with up-to-date docs) as well as the 3rd Edition
of Programming Perl. Wonderful books!

I am so glad there are people still dedicated to such a wonderfully expressive language.
