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.
, if you have done any chem related scripts, please email them to me at redmist@perlmonkeys.com. Thanks.
