I'm a perl/mod_perl programmer with a Ph.D. in Applied Math that hasn't done me much good since I gave up teaching.

Our shop language is Perl, but we present database backed web apps to other departments and to the customers of our cable/isp. This means we have to deal with SQL, HTML, and recently a lot of JavaScript (though one of my colleagues likes that, so he does most of it). We also deal with hardware on occasion (like the kind the routes phone calls the old fashioned way). These devices tend to speak C.

So that leaves us about 90-95% perl with a few odd bits thrown in.

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.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
