perl

I'm a huge advocate of using command line utilities to automate mundane everyday tasks. One of them which I am forced to do daily is clear my SPAM folder in my gmail account.

I noticed a new version of the Perl CPAN module
Mail::WebMail::Gmail and I jumped at the opportunity. Just around 15 lines of Perl code, and I can now clear my SPAM folder quickly.

Perl is considered as strongest, robust and high performance programming language when it comes to integration of systems and web.

I believe only python is having similar strengths to compete with Perl.

Is Ruby meant to compete with Perl?
