And More . . .

If you check out the module list on CPAN, you’ll find modules for more purposes, from generating graphs and other images to downloading email, and from figuring the amortization of a loan to figuring the time of sunset. New modules are added all the time, so Perl is even more powerful today than when we wrote this book. We can’t keep up with it all, so we’ll stop here.

Larry says he no longer keeps up with all of the development of Perl because the Perl universe is big and keeps expanding. And he can’t get bored with Perl because he can always find another corner of this ever-expanding universe. And we suspect, neither will we. Thank you, Larry!
