| I've been developing programs using a variety
of tools on many versions of UNIX© since 1984. For
many years I concentrated on using the C
programming language and scripts for the Bourne
and Korn shells, augmented as necessary with
scripts for use by tools such as awk and sed.
In recent times I have come across more and
more people using Perl - an interpreted langauge
which combines the features supported by a number
of the shells and tools above. It also uses a
control flow and program structure somewhat
similar to C. I've been more-or-less forced to
look at Perl in connection with projects at work
which have adopted it.
These pages describe my discoveries using
Perl.
