I am a very old perl programmer, I have released some CPAN modules but they
don't seem to be doing all that well.
Anyway I am subscribed to postfix mailing list and I often see references
to perl being made.
That strikes me rather odd.
People say perl is dying, it is too complex, it is too UNIX dependent and
so on.
But postfix mail server and perl seems to go together.
And perl CPAN modules are being used to automate mail sending and solve
many issues with postfix.
I am also getting some jobs in odesk based on my perl knowledge.
Even spamassassin is written in perl, so it amavisd-new.
For me perl is an integral part of my UNIX life though of course C comes in
from time to time.
