I'm new to Perl, but I've working as a programmer etc. for about thirty years. In that time I've used several versions of Fortran and Basic, COBOL, Pascal, Java, html, PL/SQL, and probably others. While I've had classes for most of those, most of what I know I've learned by doing. If I'd tried to stay with what I'd started out with, I'd have been unemployed for at least twenty-five years. Like they say about Perl, there's more than one way to do things. Some times that means using another language.

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).
