Maybe in the spirit of Spinal Tap, I should start releasing a series of articles listing 11 things. {grin} -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

I happened to stumble across TechRepublic's main site a few days ago and so far have been impressed with the content and site usability. I'd say it's worth a look. It compares favorably with sites such as ittoolbox and infoworld. UPDATE: fixed external links.	[reply]

I would not believe the author recommending Win32API::Registry as the the only tool for accessing Windows registry. And DBI is not a module for manipulating specific file format! The same about 10 variables for creating webpages. Tons of dynamic webpages are created without accessing this variables directly.. `s;;Just-me-not-h-Ni-m-P-Ni-lm-I-ar-O-Ni;;tr?IerONim-?HAcker ?d;print`	[reply] [d/l]
