Bio...uhh yeah.<br><br>Ok, I have been working in the IP Security world for the last 5-6 years, the last 4 in development of VPN and firewall protocols. I have been using Perl for test automation for the last 3-4 months and quite like the language and the community.<br><br>IMHO the best things about Perl are CPAN, O'Reilly, and Lincoln D. Stein!<br><br>If you are looking to learn Perl beyong the syntax described in the Camel book, get <A HREF="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=56273&lastnode_id=23304">"Network Programming with Perl"</A> and read it! It has taught me more about Perl than everything else but practice.<BR><BR><H2>#!/usr/bin/perl -w</H2><BR><H2>use strict ;</H2><BR>Since coming to the Monastary and participating it amazes me how many questions get answered with those 2 lines of code. Before I came here <CODE>-w</CODE> was part of my standard boilerplate and <CODE>use strict</CODE> was there if I remembered. Since then <CODE>use strict</CODE> has become part of my boilerplate. If you don't have a boilerplate, make one and use it. For a sample boilerplate, see my <a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=108949&user=Rex%28Wrecks%29">scratchpad</a> and for a program that makes dynamic boilerplates, see <A HREF="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?&node_id=119486">makeperl.pl</A>.
