    I've programmed so little in Perl in such distant nineties, that
    it's analogous to only having seen the shower scene in /Midnight Express/.

    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. ;-)
