Hi ;))

I was just browsing some of my old directories here,
and found my first 'do-it-myself-before-I-make-good-use-
of-Perl-program' ...

Its hashweeper, written the day after my two day perl
course, oh, sweet memories

Usage: X Y <ENTER></UL> X Y M <ENTER> for marking a hash(mine;))) or again for de-markin +g ;))<BR>
For your enjoyement, including the original debugging info

Oh, don't worry... I got better at Perl ;)))
