in thread Money vs. Perl

many people would view the programming language as unimportant, and would look to using the job as an opportunity to gain skills learning a new programming language - enhancing the resume.

This is also important to me. Being able to use Perl all day long will clearly enhance my Perl skills, and working as a consultant, jumping from client to client, is giving me the chance to work with several Perl tools (ATM I'm using Bricolage and HTML::Mason, but in a month from now I'll probably be a DBI man).

What is the future of that project? Do they want to migrate it away from perl, because that is how it appears.

It sounded like they were trying to get a new client. The project had already been around for a while and it seemed as though it was here to stay (the client is an international telecommunications company, which is selling the project worldwide).

There are other considerations.

Regarding the working environment there, it probably wouldn't be bad, because they wanted me to meet the client before making a decision; as for CPAN modules and such... I'm not sure... the place I'm working at now surely approves of those kind of things :-\

Anyway, they called me again yesterday... I decided to let the door opened for a future oportunity, so they might be calling me again some months from now, if they still have a need for Perl...
