Hello, I come from a Computer Science background have have done a small amount of programming in my time (Mostly C, Pascal, Fortran, ADA, etc..) A couple of years ago I took a Perl class from Sun to help with some utilities I was writing and have loved it ever since!

I recently read Randal L. Schwartz's article in Linux Magazine regarding a "repackaging of data" challenge that was put forth by the folks here at the Perl Monestary. I did my own version of this program and modified it somewhat to throw the information into a Java "Ticker tape" applet.

I have realized over the last couple years that there are quite a few different ways to do things in perl (to say the least). I was wondering if there were any kind souls in attendence that would like to look over my code and offer some positive feedback / criticizm. I would like to pick up on good technique and possibly learn some new tricks in the process.

If anyone is interested, please email me directly and I will provide the code for you...and please, be gentle, I'm have never been experienced!
