in reply to How many man-hours would you estimate you have invested in learning Perl?

I've been a member of the Monastery for over 13 years (wow, now I feel old). I have used perl in some form almost every weekday (and many weekends) for that period and the 5-7 years prior to it. I can't even begin to estimate what fraction of my life I have spent with perl.
