I don't know how some of you guys do it, but I can't stay on one programming language very long... I really want to concentrate on C++ and got pretty far, but decided to take a "break" for awhile and program in Perl/CGI. I can't stay on one language for very long without loosing interest... how do you guys do it?

Program something big. It's one thing to know the syntax of how to inherit something, it's another to have actually written a useful class hierarchy for some moderately complex program.

is pearl/cgi webbased?

crion: CGI is just a standard interface for web based scripting. You can do CGI in C, Perl or other languages. CGI scripts run on the server.
Perl is a scripting language, originally developed to handle and manipulate a lot of files at once (iirc).. It's probably most commonly used for CGI applications but you don't need to.

Hmmm...I stick to C/C++ for two or more years now. I did some Web"programming" like JavaScript and PHP and began(alas I really only began) learning Pearl and ShellScripting, but if I want to do some REAL programming I always turn to C/C++. I don't know any reason, why I should switch to another language. I used Basic and Pascal before and I will learn Java and Pearl sometimes in the future, but I'll perhaps keep to C for some years to come. It'S simply the greates Programming language out there!

I've been stuck on one language since I started. Mainly 'cause I can't seem to teach myself anything else.
