I've been reading articles about how perl is dying ever since I started learning it. They used to distress me, but now I see them as a sign of perl's health. If I don't see a 'perl is dying post' for a few months I get edgy.

Thanks for topping me up! That should get me through the next few months.

I take heart from the fact that the large website was originally written in Perl. And I'm kinda impressed that they managed to complete a Java project on time. I thought Java was supposed to prevent that sort of thing happening.
