Brand spanking new to PERL!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

I have been in the networking side of the house for almost 9 years now, and have just taken a job in downtown Houston, TX.  After not using a single language (other than CiscoIOS, which is a language unto itself!) since my FORTRAN days, I have been asked to learn PERL as fast as I can and my currrent list of projects to code are:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;b&gt; Completed and submitted for public-use!! &lt;/b&gt; &lt;I&gt;A new syslog daemon for our PIX firewalls to talk to that will parse the incoming information based on severity and e-mail/page/ignore based on keywords, and log accordingly&lt;/I&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

an SNMP crawler to monitor traps on our switches for port bps statistics, and aggregate them into a sum total for the network for a consistent and highly available congestion report - &lt;b&gt; Nothing but grief thus far! &lt;/b&gt;</field>
