You see, my problem is that I cannot see any computer problem as a problem for Perl. Instead I see them as Perl problems.

s/Perl/tool/;

I think this is a truism no matter which profession your in - auto mechanics, home building, medical arts, etc. There is something deep in the human psyche that places special emphasis on the tool rather than the craftsmen. Every time I feel like "blaming" the tool I remember what my dear mom used to tell me while trying to build that go-kart in the back yard:

It's a bad craftsman that blames his tools.

So take your break (everyone needs to do that at some point anyways) and think about what you want out of your trade and what tools will help you accomplish your goals.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
