I worked at a place that used SQR that i had to convert to PERL. The SQR code was used to output reports and random information from the sybase server. It was some of the worst code I have ever seen. The code had methods that were in no particular order and the main method was spread throughout the document. The developer used no variable scope (A variable would be declared in one method and used in a different one without passing it). To make things worse there was embedded sql that would query entire tables where only a few fields were needed.

Don't ever agree to learn SQR! It was the worst decision of my life.

Oh and this isn't a coding issue but the code was separated into different files (an attempt at code reuse), but the files were spread across three different version control servers and there was no way to tell if you were working on the most current version.
