This thread is bringing back a lot of memories. My first programming job in like...1999 involved a lot of Perl. It was my daily driver for several years. I even used to answer questions on perlmonks. I rarely use it now and have forgotten more than I once knew, but even so - if I need to quickly transform a text file into some other format, Perl is still the first thing I reach for. It's like a Marshall amp - it does ONE THING really, really, really well. But as a general purpose language? Eh. Way too many better options these days. I'm most pissed about my regex skills rusting. I can still bust out a clever one from time to time, but I can no longer just spit out some JEDI poo poo on the first try. Sad.
