In my case, our IS department doesn't trust us accessing the Web server. We have to have a working model of our scripts on sim server first. Then they test it and move the script to their server.
I would love a job where I could program PERL on a Linux system. But I don't have the experience to get hired for it yet. So when the company that I work for asked for this I offered to get experience for my resume to get one of those great jobs.
