( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Actually there is a lot of this going on right now at all companies. There have been so many cutbacks and layoffs that many IT groups are without good help because the expensive folks that knew what they were doing got laid off. I know of many stories like this. For instance there is a medium size company here in Houston that now has windows help desk people maintaining $250,000 worth of Sun production servers and all they got was one Sun System admin 1 class. In the case above instead of hiring a competent programmer some manager looks better on paper by telling the girl that makes a lousy 35k a year to "learn perl". The good news is that capitalism is booms and busts and eventually things will turn around and companies will start spending again.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
