in reply to Defending Perl

I seriously hope that the Enterprise is using Java. That means that my applications will beat them to market. Let them have it. I don't mind.

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?

    I think OP wanted his Enterprise to use Perl too.

    And now for something completely different: Did the Enterprise use Perl or Java?

      Given the number of enterprises that are Perl-friendly, it sounds like a good reason to consider finding a new enterprise in which to play.

      1. Does it work?
      2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
