Completely agree... I don't even remember enough Perl or Ruby to be effective with it at all. It all changes over time. I do miss parts of Flash/Flex though.



I still pull Perl out when I get a chance.

Its nice for small scripts that people might use bash for. I do Python most of the time, but Perl's syntactic sugar makes it so much nicer for something like looking up a set of files matching a regex, moving and renaming them.
