I just now got around to learning perl and am I really impressed! This weekend I've been writing a little compiler with it (it even has 3 passes!) and it's been pretty darn powerful. You are now forgiven for abandoning work on `rn' ;-) (BTW, the O'Reilly book is very good but I have yet to find the little reference guide of any use, sorry) David

It is very nearly worth as much as the Book! Are there any plans to sell newer versions of the card without the book? Or will I have to settle for printing it on flimsy paper stock? -- stripes@eng.umd.edu "Security for Unix is like Josh_Osborne@Real_World,The Multitasking for MS-DOS" "The dyslexic porgramer" - Kevin Lockwood "CNN is the only nuclear capable news network..." - lbruck@eng.umd.edu (Lewis Bruck)
