I had a financial interest in Perl - I made a very profitable living as a
contractor working on Perl code. However, I have scratched Perl from my CV
because there is fuck all job satisfaction in fixing endless streams of
Perl gibberish produced by talentless muppets. Unless your trying to be ironic
then you need to acquaint yourself with the sheer volume of crap Perl code out
there. Meanwhile I'll happily carry on coding in "obsolete" C and "too slow"
Java.
