I use Perl since number of years and keep learning more and more. I think that I do it from the perspective of "If I learn more, I will know more and I can do job better and faster". I end up doing more and more Perl. I learn because it is what makes me going about Perl. Sometime, I wonder, why I keep learning more and more Perl, why it is essential ? Cannot I do something else and learn less Perl? I can read more novels and watch more movies, go out more, meet more people, can study business, invest in market but instead of that, I find myself doing more Perl. May be I am perlover or want to become superl. I can learn other languages such as Ruby or PHP or LISP or Java and work in those languages to give my mind a little freshness. After I try to work, within 2-3 days, I come back to Perl and forget about those langauges. Perl has provided way too much caffeine for my mind. It started as hobby and helpful in making more money in my career. I progressed with Perl in my career to a reasonable extent. But why more and more Perl? Is this supposed to be this way only?

My fellow monks, why more Perl is essential in your life?
