I have noticed an increase in the number of job descriptions that seem to look for about equal amounts of experience in both Java and Perl. I have never really considered the two languages to play much in the same space; yes, both are used for web stuff, but differently, and in non-web stuff they seem very different to me.
Do a lot of people have both Perl and Java experience? How do you feel about the job descriptions that look for both? Is this a reasonable pairing, or is it yet another instance of the "grab bag" job req that has become so popular lately (Perl, Java, PHP, Visual Basic, UML, and Interwoven Teamsite). -- - Vicki Vicki Brown ZZZ Journeyman Sourceror: P.O.
