Heh. Perl is my career. The last four positions (of five since college) over 3 years and four states have been either all-Perl or primarily Perl. Without Perl, I wouldn't be able to afford the life I have. In fact, I might not even be employed right now. Certainly not as a developer!

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.
