Hello everyone. I realized after reading a few replies to "My First Perl Project" I posted may have offended a few people who do run perl on Windows, and I apologise, I didn't mean any offense. I just didn't know how to make it work because I was a beginner, and all of that was new to me. I also do not have any problem with Windows, even though I prefer how Linux is much more efficient for me, personally. As a matter of fact, since my school uses Windows on their computers, and most of my software is formatted for Windows, I do have my Linux double booted to Windows 98SE :). I think it makes up for the few things that I do not have installed in my version of Linux :). Anyway, I just wanted to say sorry for anything that might have been taken wrong :). I would like to build this meditation on the old saying that two heads are better than one, and say that two OS's are better that one.
