I have been working for about 9 yrs in software development using tools like C, Tck/Tk, Qt C++, Perl, Mod_Perl, OOPerl.

Now I am confused whether to nourish my Perl Ambition and whether it will help me grow in my career.
I am not able to find one decent job with Perl and data structures.
or
Apache and Mod_Perl.


It seems my only way to go is either
C++ and Data Structures
or
Java and Struts.
while C++ and QT doesn't seem like a bad combination.

I love perl and the quicky way of doing getting things done
at the same time implement some OO Perl to get the
managers of my back, But as it seems there is not much
jobs in this area other than QA Automation which sucks,
even my granny can automate this kind of things.

Please all you Perl Gurus, how do you make a living and
let you career graph improve with Perl.

thanks
pengwn.
