That's really funny.

Here in unemployed Michigan, there's a state agency that performs resume consulting. The resume is about a year old, and I only remembered a couple days ago that the consultant thought perl was a liability on my resume.

One of the keynotes at YAPC-NA 2013 was a talk entitled Perl- The Detroit of Scripting Languages. Lots of fun for analogies- in this case, the State of Michigan hates both. ;)

    With state agencies giving such nonsensical advice, no wonder there is much unemployment in their state.
