My last job didn't use perl at all when I got there. I'm proud to say I changed that, and the experience I got with perl there allowed me to move to a job that not only pays better and has better benefits, but also allows me to continue to grow and learn new techonlogies.
I realize this doesn't happen for everyone (just to get into the IT field I had to take a large pay cut, but I was looking at the LONG TERM situation).
When it's all said and done, it's a personal decision. What is right for you may not be right for someone else, and what's right for you today may not be what you thought was right yesterday.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
