After all, you keep your job? :-)
Well, Perl isn't that bad, I had the pleasant surprise to see that Perl 
scripts coded on my job are actually quite readable, although you have 
to get used to the "oddball" function parameter declaration syntax:

sub FilterBase( $ $ )
{
   my ( $database, $hash ) = @_;

Won't argue more, after the flames against Chris Marrin. ;-)
