in reply to What do you do for living?

Bachelor's in Comp Sci... MBA... 20+ years in programming, going back to COBOL on the mainframe.

Currently the Lead Systems Analyst for the Web/DB development group at a large University Hospital in the Southeastern United States.

I learned Perl out of self-defense when our former Perl programmer left us, and left us with no way to maintain their work. I probably work 95% of the time in SQL, and only get to write Perl whenever we need some sort of process automated.

I still come to learn, though... I doubt I'll ever catch up with most of you, but as long as I can advance my knowledge a little each day, I'm making headway :)
