Back in '94 or '95, I was contracting at a well-known American space agency which shall remain nameless and was told "Fred(*) is leaving, take over his project." It was all in Perl, and it looked similar enough to shell/sed/awk/C that I could pick up a lot of it quickly, and what the hell, it looked a lot more fun than the C++/X-Windows/Motif projects that I still had to do.
(*) The guy's real name wasn't Fred; I just said that to protect his identity. Actually, his name was Rita, but that's another story.
