in reply to How long have you been using Perl?

The first language that I learned was C (like many programmers )and I hated it. Started working and going to school for network engineering and fell in love with Linux. Well every flavor of linux that I know of comes with perl. And that is when I discoverd the power of perl. Perl is a great language for network management and the such. Will never program with any other language on any other OS other than PERL and LINUX.
