My name is Bridie I need some help with Perl poetry. I am a biochemist and my boyfriend is a programmer and as part of an anniversary gift I have made an attempt at writing a poem in Perl for him. Now, aside from QBasic in high school some time ago, I really don't know the first thing about programming. However I have read many a Perl tutorial and think I may have the beginnings of a good (for a super beginner) poem. That being said, if anyone is interested in maybe helping me I would *really* appreciate it. I'd rather not post the poem here (yet) because I imagine it would be painful for some of you to read, but if you are interested in helping you can contact me here or my AIM screen name is birdee7002. Thank you so much!
