I was just thinking about how easy it was to apply yesterday's favorite buzzword - 4GL - to any bastard COBOL wannabe. What is a 3GL (openGL with z-buf in use)? Does C count as a 1.5 GL? Anyways, we know Perl doesn't belong with any of those yahoos(!~/Yahoo/). Assume we are bringing Perl into an early 90's business (use Time::BackStep, applying the >7days patch). You have to fight your way into a tech job with only your Camel book (No fair handing out the advanced binding technology like it's transparent aluminum). Make the case that Perl is a 5GL, or die a McDonald's employee. ==== Want to unsubscribe from Fun With Perl?
