<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hi Perl Mongers,<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I am looking for some help with a private project of mine. What I really need is to be able to sit down with a Perl person and nut out some basic coding issues. I don't expect to have someone else write the code and/or debug it, but I need to learn Perl and I can do it much faster if I can talk to a real live person instead of stumbling around on the net.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I am an engineer (not a code-writer) working in Brisbane. I have started an initiative to write an open-source program called PERRMOSS because the programs and tools that we currently use in my discipline are rubbish. What this means is that the tools that local Governments are using to assess environmental impact are failing. You can read about PERRMOSS <A href="http://web.mac.com/martin_jacobs1/iWeb/PERRMOSS/Welcome.html">here</A>. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>The thing is, I know the engineering theory, but I'm very new to Perl. I have managed to get started (thanks to a mate in UK), but I need to find some local help. If you can spare some time to help, please email me.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I should also add that I don't expect to get paid for this, so any contribution that anyone makes to this initiative will be entirely voluntary. What I can offer you is some Kudos for helping to sort out the environment of our creeks and rivers.</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Lucida Grande; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>Regards,</DIV><DIV>Martin Jacobs</DIV><DIV>Visit my website...</DIV><DIV><A href="http://web.mac.com/martin_jacobs1"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">http://web.mac.com/martin_jacobs1 </SPAN></A></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
