"Don’t believe the hype, Perl is alive and kicking."
I've even heard that somone still uses C despite it's not 70's anymore ;-)
Me myself is still using Perl almost dayly this again and I'm very productive
when I'm using Perl as the P in LAMP. When I was active in the Subversion
project, I used a lot of Perl for dokument conversation and automating stuff
for making the Windows Installer. Perl is still a wonderful language IMO and I
believe that will deliver many wonderful programs and solutions in many years
to come :-)

FYI,
you'll be working online with me so there shouldn't be any surprises
;-)
The biggest surprise is why anyone would still be using Perl for web
backend work ;-) It's not 1996 any more...
