Re: Programming

[Kevin Carlson <kevin () kcarlson net>]

If you're planning to learn a computer language then it may as well have 
practical application to your job.  If you are a sysadmin (or work with 
one), then it's hard to imagine a more practical language than Perl.  
You can download a free Windows version from www.activestate.com and of 
course it comes with Linux. 

I don't know about you, but I usually enjoy learning things that I may 
actually use someday... ;)
