I've belonged to the list for a while and have never seen any activity on it
before. In fact, I had pretty much forgotten about it. I figured everyone who
used perl was like me and knew everything there was to know. :)

I have not yet used perl professionally. In fact it has been a couple of months
since I used it at all. My purpose for joining the list was just to read and
try and understand other peoples problems so that it would maybe stay in my
head after reading a couple of books on it. That hasn't been working out very
well as you may have guessed.

Maybe some good perl discussion will ensue after this?
