<DIV>>Whats Perl? :)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Perl is a programming language, the acronym stands for Pretty Eclectic Rubbish Lister. I might suggest any candidate for this position checks out <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obfuscated_Perl_contest">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obfuscated_Perl_contest</A> and attempts not to replicate the evilness displayed there ;)</DIV>

<DIV>I prefer more er... mainstream programming languages like ALGOL (<A href="http://www.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis400/algol/algol.html">http://www.engin.umd.umich.edu/CIS/course.des/cis400/algol/algol.html</A>) or perhaps BBC BASIC (<A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_BASIC">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_BASIC</A>) [goes misty-eyed and remembers when all this were fields - two digit date fields at that]. Except when someones paying of course :)</DIV>
