in thread Tired of "Perl is dead" FUD ?

After changing jobs from software developer to database developer, I find many more cases where Perl is a perfect tool because I'm now working closer to databases. While I have no wish to move to a full DBA or system administration job, this is working out well with about 70% development and 30% DBA work.

It seems that some DBA jobs are actually interesting Perl developer jobs in disguise.
