Hello, World!

According to the node counter on my home node, this post will be my 1000th. I can't believe that I have written so many within a year. In the same timespam, I wrote exactly 1750 e-mails, and a huge number of lines on IRC. A great deal of all that communication was about Perl.

I leant a lot here. My OO-skills have improved, and certainly my style has. Today, almost all my Perl stuff uses strict and warnings. I'm not saying that my code was bad before December, 15th of 2001, but on several points you can see that my code now is much better. Thanks to you!

To all who maintain this place, reply to my nodes or even just vote on them:
THANK YOU :)
