So hey,
at least you got some perl coder around. Where I work there are the moment only two perl coders (me being one of them, and I'm definetly not a saint ;-).

Imagine what it's like when you got the skills in using perl and are capable of "doing this job just in a minute" (simply because perl is the tool for doing jobs just in a minute)...
You hardly get to the things you are supposed to do *grin*

But I'm working on it: a few people (former C and Matlab coders) have seen how easy it can be to "just change this line from foo to bar" ... we'll see :)

Regards...

Stefan
