Minor Perl hobbyist - along with LISP, and Assembly Language. I made my living s‎crip‎ting mainframe Rexx and JCL, then some COBOL, and now a niche therein - banking ACH; I remember working for a bank in New Orleans that was changing their Treasury web front. FTP s‎crip‎ts were dynamically tailored to embed time stamps in file names - and the programmers were using COBOL in place of Perl to custom the FTP s‎crip‎ts! The file content was pre-formatted reports written in COBOL and Easytrieve. That is a hind-site view. Gardening and native plants.
