"May I solve this technical interview problem in Perl?" will also get you kicked out the door fast.

I mean, ideally you can just name a bunch of alternative languages and pick one that the interviewer is somewhat familiar with.

A smart interviewer might even take the chance to ask you which one you'd consider the best choice and why (which is a nice question because it shows lots of things about how knowledgeable you are and your thought process)
