Well, I am pretty much only a Perl programmer. The reason is that Perl is
a lot of fun for me to program in. I learned enough C and C++ to know
that they don't appeal to me. Same for Python. I actually think I'd
enjoy Ruby but there's so many things lacking in the libraries (no CPAN,
no DBI) at this point that I'd have to seriously reinvent the wheel to
get any work done with it.
I'm trying to find work that I enjoy. For me so far, that means Perl. If
I couldn't do Perl, I might not be a programmer.
