Didn't _save_ my job, but I have a very non-Perl related job (electrical engineer) and I was able to use Perl in a cool way the other day. We just inherited a large VHDL (a programming-type language to describe hardware systems) project and I whipped up a quick script that went thru the entire directory structure and created a calling tree to find out what different modules were called where. This is REALLY helping us all in figuring out what is going on in the system. - Aaron
