I just met an IT manager who doesn't know what Perl is!

Yep,

and from now on, new web interfaces will be done through "dotnet" (the way she says it), even though she "doesnt exactly know what it is" and none of her programmers actually knows how to use it. After all, its "the newest software" and we must use it "to ensure security."

<sigh>

At least I'm not (formally) in IT.

I tried to use perl on one of the sites I did. The admin says, "Perl is new and insecure. It doesn't work on Windows".

He then told me I tried to send him a virus as an attachment. It was a PGP signature.

Thought of this when I read your post.

I'm not much of a network guy, but it might take a few versions before it becomes mature.

That's true intelligence.

throwing these terminologies at IT managers will make them freeze.

they look at you like a deer looking into headlights.
