(Morgan Stanley do use Perl, but they're rewriting all their Perl apps to Java. So, it's good to know Perl to help in that, but.)

They've decided that Perl is a language of the past, and they should be coding in nice things, like C#.

Works or not? Have you ever used C#? Do you know whether or not it works for you, let alone for MSDW?

I've used it. It works. I like it.

Nuevas cobolistas!
