I've been following this thread for a little while...Whether or not
perl is powerful is not the issue. There are tutorials out there for anyone
who wants them. A young kid who reads a lot can amass libraries of these
tutorials, teach himself how to code, and instantly become dangerous.
My generation grew up with computers, and they become second nature.
For a teen or pre-teen to have this computer awareness, and then read these
tutorials, (s)he can "intuitively" begin to recognize security holes and
things of that nature. With the wealth of information out there, it is hard
(if you have the desire) to remain a "newbie hacker wannabe" for long....
