I've been reading an excellent column called "Work" by the Jeffreys Copeland and Haemer in SW Expert magazine for a couple of years now, and have yet to see it referenced here at perlmonks, so I thought I'd pass it along. It's a monthly column in which they tackle real world problems, mostly interesting and mostly in perl. Past examples have been predicting the likelyhood of getting certain animal in your box of animal crackers, tallying votes in alternative voting systems, and creating/compressing Palm DOC's, just to name a few. Reading this column actually did a lot to spark my original interest in perl, since it demonstrated the versatility and fun inherent in the language.

You can find it here, under the "Work" section, where all of the past columns are archived as pdf's.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

    Hi,
    this seems to be a good place to note Michael Schili, who writes perl articles for the (german) iX and Linux Magazin on a monthly basis.

    His articles can be found on his website in the apropriate section. The articles are german as far as I know but you can still read the code :)

    Those articles originally raised my interest in perl and I learned a _lot_ by reading them!

    Thanks!

    Regards... Stefan
