[Israel.pm] Is there a lack of (good) Perl programmers?

[guy keren]

or, if those companies want to survive, they should hire good 
programmers, and let them learn perl. that's what they do anyway, with 
programmers who come from a different technological background.

in many companies, the language is only one of several barriers, and 
sometimes not the main barrier - the technology to be developed is much 
more complicated then mastering a given programming language.

i just wish people would stop putting such a strong emphasize on knowing 
specific programming languages.
