Is your job assoicated to Perl? Kinda. I probably spend most of my paid programming with Perl. But I'm paid to make clients happy with great software. Perl is just a tool that helps me along the way. What education do you have? BA (in Computing and Artificial Intelligence if anybody cares :-) Im a molecularbiologist/bioinformaticist doing an project in bioinformatics and have the privelige to write Perl everyday, allday long these days. I dont get any money for it though. Yes you do :-) Nobody is paid just to write perl. People are paid to make things happen. Perl is just a means to an end - whether it be an e-commerce web site or a whole bunch of phylogenetic analysis. That's why it gets my goat when people refer to me as a Perl Programmer. I'm not a perl programmer. I'm a programmer. Or, if I'm going to be picky - a software developer. People pay me to make software. Programming is just one skill I use to help make software. Perl is just one tool I use when I'm programming. I've used other tools before I used Perl. I'm 100% I'll use other tools in the future. In reply to Re: What do you do for living?
