part time perl hacker wannabe, with my lack of direction from my managers here at work i decided to do some functional web programming to encourage communication, I developed a collaboration web site with discussion forums user provided news postings, dynamic internet links page showing most used and newest web links. NOW i am working on a new project which requires interaction with a Mysql DB so now i'm a Mysql and DBI wannabe as well. this perl site as been with me from the very early stages of my perl interest and is fantastic and invaulable.
