I'll have to agree with Abigail-II too. I currently use perl, VB, VC++, tcsh, PowerBuilder (yes, I think we're the ONLY shop in the Air Force still using it, but we do), and InstallShield. When any new task comes up, the first question I ask myself is, "How can I do this in perl?" followed by, "Would it be quicker to code and more efficient on the CPU to use something else?" Then I make my case for doing it in perl (usually with a prototype already built in perl) to the management, assuming the answer to the latter question isn't a resounding yes. I'm slowly getting perl into the business rules here (it didn't exist around here before I showed up).

The key to any good resume is showing experience and flexibility. Again, the key used around here before I showed up was PowerBuilder, which I had absolutely no experience in (not that I claim any experience with it 18 months later), but I got the job because of experience and a shown flexibility to learn.

Having said that, it's neat to find out that Amazon uses perl along with BankOne and MasterCard. I already knew about Motorola, along with Boeing, Lockheed Martin, GE, and General Dynamics.
