Count me as one such user. I started using Perl for sysadmin
tasks back in the early 90's. From there I expanded to
database management, text-mode UI's, code generation, etc.
My experience with Perl gave me the courage to "bet the farm"
on business projects with Python, starting in 1994.
One other debt I must acknowledge. Prior even to Perl, I
had many pleasant experiences using Awk. Does anyone remember
Jon Bentley's "Confessions of a Coder" books? Marvelous stuff.
