My most spectacularly successful "code in reply" is [id://485464]<br>
A lot of people seem to like [Utility to capture parameters and perform a task]<br>
Some sage advice :-) for SoPW posters who would like answers: [id://510718]<br>

<p>I used to be an electronics technician for the University of Otago (Dunedin, NZ). I'm now part of a software development team writing data capture and analysis software for the product that our company sells. I'm mostly writing C++ embedded firmware as part of the hardware development team, but writing a lot of Perl tools that are used in a wide range of roles in the company. I've used SC/MP, RCA COSMAC (CDP1802), Z80, 8051, 6800 and 6502 assembler, Forth, Basic (many flavours), Logo, SmallTalk, Pascal, Algol 60, Fortran, C, C++, VBA, Prolog, COBOL, JScript, various calculator programming languages, JavaScript, Python, Java and Perl (and forgotten most of them). I started using Perl in May 2005 to convert a Word document to TWiki (with pretty successful results) and joined PerlMonks at the end of May.</p>
