I discovered Perl in the later days of 4--wait, I don't have to fuss around with lex and yacc to parse ugly formats?--and was dragged into 5 because somebody up the chain wanted us to run SATAN. Then I discovered Oraperl, and eventually DBI.

I have written some truly awful Perl in my day, and now and then some that I can look through again years later and acknowledge as not too bad. It has saved me, and through me people I work with, a great deal of time.
