> Worked as a Perl dev for 15 years and enjoyed it. The hardest thing was the number of ways to do OO Perl using Perl5. Everyone has their own flavor. And TMTOWTDI was a motto the community was proud of. One of my frist dev jobs was slinging perl script, I loved that attitude and it made for a fantastic learning environment. I really dislike the feeling of having to write code in a straightjacket because tHe TeAm CaN't UnDeRsTaNd iT!!! We minimized the negatives of TMTOWTDI by incorporating a house style, but it was flexible because we were all smart people whose minds didn't crash because we saw a statement we didn't expect.
