Hello! My name is Jason Purdy and I'm Proud to Use Perl ...
[chorus: Hello, Jason]
Honestly, sometimes you feel like part of a support group or a 12-step program when you tell others that you program in Perl. Earlier in the year, I went to a local Ruby group meetup because they had a great program where an evangelist from Amazon came to present on their AWS and perhaps they had an abnormal turnout because of the program, but they easily had 3-4 times as many folks as our own local PM group meetings.
Now I'm not going to dig up graphs or charts or jobs-wanted numbers to justify anything ... I'll save that for later or for others. Rather, I shove all that aside and proudly say I use Perl.
Now part of the mission of this blog/site, as I understand it, is to provide a place for proud Perl voices to be heard and for writing about amazing things that Perl can be proud of.
So over my next few posts, I'll highlight several projects that we've done at work, where Perl has made them happen. I'm proud to use Perl for them and I hope Perl is proud of the results.
Peace,
Jason
