    perl is multi platform.

    You don't think i'm actualy viewing the techjamaica.com website do you? I am using perl to do the dirty work for me. That way i don't have to view icons, adds, etc. I can type respondes into my perl script for threads and view new messages. Very handy, very powerfull.

    Perl has been around for many years. I can give you the history of perl verbatim, but i'm certain you can handle google

    Cool, i know all about perl verbatim, java's regular expression handling came directly from perl.
    to sys admin work perl is often considered a glue language however it can do much more.
    what do u mean glue language? what is it used for mainly?

    Ha! .. i hope i mod knows when i post some viral code on the forum muhhaaaaa . I'm just joking, i was just wondering if it had anything to do with the popularity of the forum itself? Since its not so popular.

    I agree with you 100%

    Only problem, I have too much on my plate right now to go delve into a new language. I have been doing some Python recently, because i had reason: to learn Plone.

    I was playing around alot with Perl scripts and plugins for the Mac a few weeks ago. I was trying to get a system notification program working. Installed lots and lots of libraries. Where were you when I needed help Well, now I know a perl programmer.

    well, on linux systems with anal package managers you probably don't want to use cpan, however on my system i use cpan all the time.

    a simple cpan -i some::module

    it will occasionaly ask a question or two but it will grab all dependencies for that particular perl module, etc. etc.

    Yeah, I'm interested too! How do you script your responses?

    Ok, you responsed faster than I could reply. I definately have motivation to learn Perl now. I find that the quickest way to get your feet wet in a language is to program something in it. I want to code what you have, the forum tool. Where so I start?

    I'm using MacOSX 10.3 Panther. I have Perl 5.8.1 installed. OSX ships with Perl

    I use the following perl module http://search.cpan.org/~petdance/WWW...W/Mechanize.pm

    It's quite simple really.
