in reply to Perl for all ages?

Hi MaxKlokan,

It is really hard to know the age distribution of Perl Programmers. For example, the age of the developers I know cover a very broad range. I know a couple of very good Venezuelan programmers that are under 20. I know some others that are in their mid twenties and some in their mid thirties (also from Venezuela). I also know some other programmers in their late thirties and mid to late forties (from the US). If you look at a local sample, you will have a biased view of what is out there. By the way, my son (he is a four years old Canadian He is a proud Canadian that is four years old) likes to play with the text editor I use and he loves to see how the text changes color depending on whether he types #, $, ... :-) I know he does not qualify as a Perl Programmer yet but maybe in a couple of years ;-)

Cheers,

lin0

    "four years old Canadian"? So with the exchange rate that's, what . . . 5 or 6 American? :)

    (Heh, I actually just checked and it'd be 3.4121 today; I must have been thinking GBP which would have been 7 or 8 :)

      Hi Fletch,

      I don't know. I will ask him and I will get back to you later ;-)

      Cheers,

      Read the Sam Small stories by Eric Knight. It explains at one point how children grow up much faster in America.
