I have thought (and prayed) and I am jumping the chasm to being a full fledged programmer. I will initially be tasked with cleaning up some email parsing stuff using Perl (of course). Then I will be doing XML stuff ala some web services and possibly some Java with ArcGIS.
I am pretty stoked as I really love programming and I look forward to the growth this will certainly cause.
I don't have to change companies (which is good) just projects.
Congratulations sigzero!
Not to put a damper on your new position

Well I could have stayed where I was but the prime on the contract sucks and the potential for growth isn't really there.
The project I am going to is stable and has some nice things coming down the pipe for the future.
I am hoping that as I grow into this job that I will be able to maybe help out in different areas in the Perl world as well.
I hope it works out well for you.
