Since I have the liberty of choosing my tools, I choose Perl because a lot of what I do is taking files X, Y, & Z and finding the matches (or in some cases, the differences), and Perl is, IMO, the best choice for this task.

My boss is looking for results - and since Perl lets me do my job quickly, it makes me look good in the eyes of the boss, which is one of the keys to continued employment.

The fact that Perl fits the way I work/think (which helps to make work fun) is just an added bonus...

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.
