Heheh, I'm still in university and I'm showing people Perl tricks that blow their minds. People these days just don't use dynamic languages to their full capability. They just learn the basics and stop. :-P I just went to Houston Techfest[*] this weekend (as I have for a number of years now) and I'm mostly seeing C# and JavaScript. There used to be a larger Java presence and even some Ruby, but that has seemed to waned. I'm wondering, would anyone want to present some Perl there next year? I think I may have got someone interested in looking at DBIx::Class. Also, have any of you checked out PowerShell? It's got a very terse syntax. I may have to steal some of it for Perl.

I didn't know I had PowerShell on this Win7 machine of mine. I'm watching tutorial 1 of 5 right now. This guy sure gets excited about things that don't seem all that cool to me, but it sure is cool to him. He is easily impressed. I guess this PowerShell is a little bit better than the command prompt I am using now, but not much better in my opinion. I really need to find a better one.
