> Do I want to program in Cobol or Mumps for the rest of my life, or even the rest of the afternoon? No. I had been a Perl hacker, and CPAN author (kraehe) ages ago, but time moves on. I learned coding with papertape and punch cards. I wont get any good job, if I would restrict myself to COBOL or Perl. Perl has its strong sides, especially the CPAN culture of testing and documentation is unmatched in any other language. I still use Perl, if there is a module that solves my needs. But my portfolio of languages grows constantly. I dont want to write Perl the rest of my life.
