in reply to Is Perl a good career move?
I'm new to Perl, but I've working as a programmer etc. for about thirty years. In that time I've used several versions of Fortran and Basic, COBOL, Pascal, Java, html, PL/SQL, and probably others. While I've had classes for most of those, most of what I know I've learned by doing. If I'd tried to stay with what I'd started out with, I'd have been unemployed for at least twenty-five years. Like they say about Perl, there's more than one way to do things. Some times that means using another language.
