in thread How can I count the number and kinds of letters at 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions of 3-letter words in a string?

Yes, I think the main reason Perl has been my favorite language for 15 years is that it's so useful for just "getting things done." In fact, that's why I asked my question: I much prefer that kind of "just get the results quickly" scripting over "building big web applications." Unfortunately, it seems harder to make a living from the former, but I'm always watching for that kind of work, while doing the web stuff to pay the bills.
