LOL, yeah. - But the point is that my valuation what constitutes a
"programmer" needs quite a bit more expertise than I have. (YMMV.)
All that I've done in Perl programming was to infer some knowledge
from other languages or libraries and to expand existing programs
to my needs. And it was not even a month I spent for coding Perl.
I also do know a bit Perl concepts from literature, but that's it.
If that experience is what already constitutes a programmer then I
understand why so much existing software is so bad. :-)
(But, yeah, _technically_ I became have become a Perl programmer.
Just don't count on any deep experience. And I'll also reject any
Perl job offers. ;-)
