Re^5: The future of Perl?

Regarding companies that do accept Perl solutions, I looked at some job listings, and out of the 40 currently listed, 23 included the terms "OO", "Moose" or "Catalyst". I've been keeping an occasional eye on that page since 2005 and haven't noticed much change in the demand for OO Perl skills.

Certainly in every Perl job I interviewed for, they were looking for people with skills to maintain their OO Perl codebases.

Perhaps the difference is that neither of us take on web work, the IO-bound nature of which minimised the considerable penalties of OO via Moose. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]
