I've never heard of Perler (or seen you say it), and it sounds weird
to my ears.

Perl newbie
Perl user
Perl hacker

That would cover most of the spectrum.  Unless you're on P5P or P6-*,
in which case you are a:

perl hacker

Note lowercase p. :)

how do i describe a perl user?

2004-09-30 Thread Sano Babu
just wondering what a user of Perl may be called? Perler?? Theres
got to be some fancy name for it. Perl is not just another programming
language.. I reckon its much more like a religion with attitude.. :)

Cheers,
SanoBabu

Where there is 'JAPH' but that tends to have another meaning as well

Considering readability is often a goal in Perl, why not call them a
user of Perl... or if you are into the whole brevity thing, a Perl
Programmer.

I would call him a very intelligent person O:-)

OK, a bit more seriously, now: Perl hacker and Perl monger are
 frequently used...

Would anyone more experienced than me care to send his two cents on this
 one? :-)

Well thats what http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3A%20guru says..
i say to be a guru someone has to be nutcrack... :) It takes a lot of
patience, hardship to be one.. lets say like Randal, Larry or Tom who
help peps with that same answer over n over again..
I read somewhere Perl monks are like maniacs or something.. :) but in
a good way.. All Perl hacker are maniacs i guess with coffeine
ejecting out of their nerves..
As i say this i am still learning Perl and intend to be like them one
day...(lets see when that day is now [ nodding to myself ] )
