Ah then you might be safe. But I don't think so.

The more jobs I have, the more I realize with very few exceptions there is always some kind of office politics motivating most people's actions at work (and sometimes even outside of work). This has proven to be the case in the small companies (3-10 employees) to the large companies (4,000-10,000 employees) and all the sizes in between.

I would still wonder why they'd ask you (the guy with the non-programming title) to solve a "simple" task with an "inferior" language. It could just be the contractor wants to show in his own mind that your company needs him, or it could be something more complex. I'd dig a little deeper and watch out for any rumors.

Again Good Luck.

On the bright side, your question has helped me fix a problem I was having. Thanks!

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.
