The official "scripting" tool at work is the Korn shell. Perl is "not approved" by our Tech Ops group's standards, mostly due to its perceived lack of paid support. I still manage to use it for all kinds of CGI/Web interfaces to databases and document assembler-type pages. I am also starting to use more it in place of ksh scripts in my day-to-day activities, mostly thanks to the knowledge I have gained from reading all the Seekers of Perl Wisdom and Q&A pages here in the Monastery. Thanks again to all for the help, encouragement, and generally fun atmosphere!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
