I'm on my home network and I'm looking for the latest copy of my resume. In the process of doing this I realize that I've done this maybe 4 or 5 times in the last six weeks. Aha! I have a task that needs automation. Just a few minutes prior, I went to google and searched for the latest release of a particular utility I like to use. I found the answer on google in just a few seconds. To find my latest resume took a little less than a minute. My home network is primarily Win32 with 1 Linux machine I use for programming. I've got the tools I need to build a file indexing system that can help me find duplicate files, delete the duplicate files, copy important files to a backup directory for archiving purposes. I have a possibly big project that is ultimately suited to Perl. So before I go out and start re-inventing the wheel, is there anyone in the Monastary that has done a similar project? I'm hitting the books right now looking for possible situations. Any suggestions? Thanks Poetic Justice
