You should consider it (or another language). I work long hours to do all that I do, but if I did not have the ability to throw together "off the cuff" Perl scripts to automate some tasks I'd end up having to work well over 24 hours a day every day, which is of course impossible. At a ballpark figure, without Perl I'd be earning about half as much as I do earn, paying money out for scripts I could not do without (like traffic trading) and would probably only be doing this as a "hobby" rather than my main job. More importantly (to me) I would not be in the position I am in at the moment, which is to be about to embark on my life long dream of moving into (non-adult) film production.
Basically I owe Larry Wall a hell of a lot. In the unlikely event that he is reading this, thanks mate.
