Being in the Christmas spirit, I gave you all the XP allowed. Although it's laudable that Perl opened many new doors for you, it dosn't for everyone... all I got from Perl was some recognition and some stiff hips from sitting in front of a monitor for hours and hours. But it was worth it for me too, because it widened my knowledge of what computers are really all about. Without that insight, I would still be a pathetic Microsoft Windows dependent junkie, dowloading countless exe files to do simple tasks, paying for some, and fighting trojans and virii all the way. Perl led me toward freedom and improved creativity.
I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum
