I'm wondering if some people here struggle professionally with being, more than anything else, a perl programmer?
Well, in my long sojourn with Perl I can truthfully
say that Perl has been more of being another tool
my by
in my box of tools to do my "real profession®"
being a Unix Professional.
I did have one gig where I was a full time Perl
programmer, but for the most part Perl has been a
tool or means to an end. One that I use quite often
granted, but still just a tool.
Update:Corrected a typo
caused by a very tired brain slipping gears.
Thanks VSarkiss

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
