Hey monks,

I was checking out the perl channel in IRC and I saw the tail of an interesting subject. Whether or not you in fact knowing perl makes a true "programmer". I have seen perl used in so many ways that I don't see many restrictions on it as far as its uses. And some people say that just knowing one language makes you not a programmer. But if you look at languages such as VB which is truly more limited (in such ways as being platform-dependent), that I could see as a limited skill. So my question here is, do any of you code or are pretty handy with any other programming languages and if so, which ones?
