I have to agree with FoxtrotUniform - balance is key as both a programmer and employee. From my experience, knowing other languages as well as perl - has allowed me to view my applications and algorithems in a different light. As it has been said before in the Monastery, different languages allow a programmer advantages and disadvantages in certain situations. One may use perl in a backend process or use C++ to control a machine, etc. I don't believe that one should know a little in many languages or master only one language and reject other technologies; but rather grow as a programmer and an employee and use the best technology for the situation (if you're allowed the freedom...). Of course, that doesn't mean that one shouldn't learn perl fully and understand the complexities.. but one shouldn't reject other technologies in place of one language.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
