Perl

An analysis of hiring trends has revealed that the demand for Perl experts in the workplace is on the rise. oahul Soni, technical director, ThoughtBeat, Mumbai, reveals, “Perl, which has recently turned 25, when combined with CdI (Common dateway Interface) scripting, becomes more powerful and can do wonders. In fact, it did gain momentum in the late 90s as a CdI scripting language. I would say that wherever there is no Web interaction, its performance is stupendous. If you talk about the salary trends, it is comparatively higher-than-average, but Perl may not be ideal for some applications, potentially limiting job prospects.”
