Started learning small bits of perl when I got my first sysadmin role, took a weeks holiday late 2007 to work my way through the learning perl book. Primarily my work with perl has revolved around hacking existing s‎crip‎ts rather than writing stuff from scratch which is something I want to remedy. I don't really consider myself to be a computer programmer, I don't seem to think about problems the same way most programmers I've met do! I guess I'd describe myself as an admin who does a bit of s‎crip‎ting on the side out of laziness to save time in the long run.
