in reply to Perl IDE

    yeah!
    why in my day, there wasn't any of this fancy 'auto-auto indenting' I had
    to hit ESC and type:set aito get my IDE to auto indent for me.
    And colored syntax? Yeah, we had that. Light green for the characters and
    and dark green for the background.
    And another thing...we didn't have those fancy Quake/Diablo games to play
    to unwind. We telneted to port 2800 of sneezy.cc.utexas.edu and MUD'd.
    We had to use our imagination! yeah! :)
      you are making me feel SO OLD! please stop :-)

        Yeah, I know. It's like, remember when Lynx was the coolest app you'd seen in a long time?
        Navigating the web by hitting the left and right arrows...sheesh, those were the days.

    Well I am very sorry i didn't get back to you in time...i am losing sleep as we speak.
      Ummm...it was kind of a tongue-in-cheek comment...you weren't a user yet when I posted my question :-) But thanks for the answer anyway.
