Subject: Perl v. Icon
Errors-To: icon-group-errors@cs.arizona.edu
Could someone familiar with both Perl and Icon give me a (preferably
reasoned :) comparison of the text-processing abilities of Perl and Icon
(I have little need for system-management functions). The sort of tasks I
have in mind are building HTML pages, converting files from one markup to
another, extracting text out of e-mail messages, and doing global edits
to files.
