Nice, I like that! If I were in the server business, you folks would blow
my socks off, no doubt.
Again, my mission with perl is slicing and dicing large datasets into sql
for sane retrieves. I also use perl to open 3270 sessions with zOS
mainframes and screen scrape data into sql for sane retrieves (detonation
#1). Which means my second language of "choice" is COBOL and Eztrieve
(detonation #2). Its not at all my choice because I am a victim of my
industry and enterprise environment.
And by the way, when I run perl it's ActiveState Komodo in w32 (detonation
#3). Go easy guys, I'm a victim of industry, LOL....
If I had my way, it would be gentoo with most of the languages previously
mentioned. Mostly perl though...
I am now running for the swamp.
:-D
