in reply to Software handyman and handywoman

I have Midnight Commander, 10 virtual desktops, and a cd-sized directory of catagorized "best-snippets" collected from here, various maillists, and usenet groups. I find the snippets are indispensible, since I mostly know "what I want to do", but can't remember the best idioms to do it. Like the well-known sig, often seen here, from a well-respected monk says....."99% of all software is already written."

I think when you start talking CVS and such, you are moving from "handyman" into the realm of "software engineering".

    As can be seen below, it's 90%, not 99%. And I'm only quoting dragonchild so he should get the credit. Thanks for the complement, though, unless you were commenting about someone else using the same sig.

    90% of every Perl application is already written. ⇒
