Two poll ideas. The first one is based on a recent meditation:
What is your training as a Perl programmer/developer?
- Bachelor's in CS/Informatics
- Master's in CS/Informatics
- PhD in CS/Informatics
- Self-taught
- International Guild of Perl Hackers
- Bachelor's in Natural and Artificial Languages, some linguistics grad school
The second idea overlaps somewhat with this past
poll, but that poll was long ago enough that I think it would be interesting to find out what the results would be today (I expect that the Windows numbers would be way up at the expense of the numbers for the various Unix options):
Which OS do you feel most comfortable coding Perl apps for?
- Unix
- Windows NT/2000
- Windows XP
- Mac OS X
- OS 2
- VMS
- BeOS
- TRS-80
- Other
(I am quite ignorant of Windows, so I could use some help with the wording of the Windows options to make them more meaningful. In particular, I don't know how different it is to program for Windows NT vs Windows 2000 vs Windows XP; there is little difference, perhaps all the Windows options should be collapsed to just one.)
