I can read and write simple perl script for admin but i don't define myself a perl programmer .
A question for you .
For searching a DBA in 2013 do you think perl is something usefull nowdays ?
I use it sometimes on windows machine .. but on unix I usually prefer shell scripting .. so I'd like to know your opinion . the reason for the question are 2 :
- think if it something I have to study more or if it is better to study
something else
- for recruiting

Obviously as dba/sysadmin i exclude dotnet or java skill as requirement ( i know java quite well becouse i come from java develpment but i don't use it for my work and so i don't think it is something important for a dba (it is another work)) .
Thanks
