Is perl a good candidate for Data Mining

Hi,
I am wondering is perl a good candidate for Data Mining? I intend to
use Perl to analyze tons of data and fetch some useful informatino from
them. Does perl designed for this?
Thanks in advance!

Regards!
Bo

So-called data mining is methodologically flawed.

You can breathe your own smoke in any language.

Yes, Perl is a good candidate to this type of job. You can use any other
language which know RegExp but perl script is all time source code and you
must not to compile it before running. This is a big advantage in debug time
;-)
Possible other candidates are C (C++), Python, PHP, but PHP is not a good
idea for long run time.

"Data Mining" covers a multitude of sins. Some are best committed with
Perl, some are not.
