I got lucky. To get out of fast food, I took the first computer-related job I could get... and lo, it is a good one. My employer expresses no opinion about which programming languages I should use, so naturally I use Perl for most of my programming needs. (Note, however, that programming is only a component of my job; I also get to do various other things, since I'm the whole IT department, and these days (since the Program Coordinator quit and hasn't been replaced) I'm also the graphic design and desktop publishing department... I work for a fairly small employer. Try it some time; it's fun.)

So, I have to do other things too, but I do get to do quite a bit of work with Perl.
