Re: Perl for all ages?

I'm closer to Moriarty in age .. I turn 49 in April, but who's counting? I still sing and do silly things on stage with my chorus, and act like a kid when I'm fooling around with my 19 and 15 year-old step-sons.

After many years programming in C, I picked up Perl as a 'useful tool' coming up on ten years ago, and I've yet to put it down.

Certainly what they're teaching in schools is stuff like VB.Net, but the smart students are the ones experimenting with a variety of technologies, and they're the ones that will come across Perl.
