Yeah you have an interesting point... I'm 26 and started using Perl in my first ever computing job back in 2001, which although seems a long time ago to me, I guess isn't all that long ago in the grand scheme of things. I'm slightly ashamed to say I pretty much only use PHP now and the company I used to work for have all but moved over to .NET! Which is even worse! :) So yeah maybe it is a bit old school, although I still love Perl and use at every opportunity... :) Long live Perl.
