Change my primary technology from perl to java/.net/.... (which is not easy in this part of world, if you are a perl developer today you are a perl developer forever.

“You are not the only movie-star who feared becoming “type-cast.”   Self-marketing is always part of this constantly-changing business, and by the way, “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.”   Don’t worry too much about people in other countries taking your jobs away (especially given that you are ... uhhh....), and don’t worry too much about having to move to another country to find work (unless, of course, you want to move to America where, if you are a highly experienced programmer, you can very easily not-find work).   ;-)
