I echo le. Perl and chemistry are a great (and challenging) mix. I think that if I wasn't so attracted to chem, I would have an easier time programming...or maybe I'm just making excuses. Perl is great, and it makes me very happy. Right now I suck, but that's the great thing about Perl, you can start easy, and work your way up. le, if you have done any chem related scripts, please email them to me at redmist@perlmonkeys.com. Thanks.
