You know what, in a way I am. My current position is for an R&D company where I get to work on multiple interesting projects simultaneously. Of course, not all are in Perl but all are interesting and cutting edge. Some are python, C++, or Java. Viva La Difference!

I could have taken a job for more money, but I am happy/secure in this job. I look forward to work each day. I think that when you jump a fence for what looks like greener grass, you almost always regret it. That's not to say that one should not take risks and grab for the brass ring sometimes, but dont fall off the horse when it just a cheesey old plastic ring anyway.
