I'm an American teacher of English living in a small city 40 miles northwest of Barcelona. My website visca.com, mostly in Catalan, uses Perl and CGI.pm for a host of interactive pages. I've been using Perl since the Matt Wright days (How was a poor newbie to know?) and learned it mostly from comp.lang.perl.misc and the Camel book. Besides using Perl for interactive pages, I find it to be very useful munging text files. Since this textarea is quite large, I suppose I'm encouraged to give an example of how Perl makes life easier for me: I have 350 lines of text like this: I want them to be like this: This is the heart of what I came up with: If it weren't for perl I wouldn't have a clue how to do this except by hand. 350 lines!! |
