These questions are more of a Rohrshach test for the reader than anything else. Without any idea of what goal you are trying to satisfy any answer is essentially useless. It is like the old saw that a recession is when the other guy is out of work and a depression is when you are out of work: aggregate statistics--and industry trends--are of very little importance compared to your personal priorities. If you want a language with a large install base, learn COBOL. If you want cool IDEs, learn Java. Me, I don't care whether there's more money in Java, it wouldn't be enough for me. And if money's the top priority, become a lawyer. So I can't see any answers to those questions being of use unless you tell us why you want to know. Are they an assignment for a term paper? Are you writing a trade magazine article? Or something else? If you're asking in regard to your own career path then we'd need to know a lot more about what your priorities and background are. -- Peter Scott http://www.perlmedic.com/ http://www.perldebugged.com/ http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0137001274 http://www.oreillyschool.com/courses/perl3/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
