Although the vast majority of my development work is VB.NET/ASP.NET, I do manage to get a fair amount of perl coding in.

I use perl ALOT on our UNIX servers to eliminate the need to telnet sessions (I've pretty much replaced that with socket servers through a web interface), as well as to handle routine maintenance and clean-up and any other task that I don't want to deal with.

Perl serves to make my job as a developer easier. I'm actually going to use it in an ASP.NET web-app, in the near future, to generate a massive amount of SVG from a SQL Server database. Because of the modules available, I'm going to be able to write this in much fewer lines of code and in much less time.

If you make something idiot-proof, eventually someone will make a better idiot.
I am that better idiot.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
