I miss Perl. I managed a startup that built in Perl and C++ simultaneously. The Perl MVP allowed us to get into customer premises right away and we fed that learning back into the C++ version (on which our acquisition was based). In retrospect we would not have succeeded without Perl.
I used it recently to generate reports from analytics and it felt good. If there are remote jobs calling for Perl, send them my way.
- mfontani 4y agoLook at https://perl.careers https://perl.careers and/or search for Perl on LinkedIn, or look at https://jobs.perl.org https://jobs.perl.org. Plenty jobs for Perl developers.
- nousermane 4y agoPerl has some weird quirks - dollar-variables vs. percent-variables vs. at-variables (and sometimes you can "cast" one into other), round-brackets where most others have squiggly (and vice-versa)... But once you get over that, it's a great language. First-class regex, -pine options. A lot to love about it.
- bitexploder 4y agoMany a Unix environment and production system were held together by Perl glue in the late 90s/early 00s :)
