What kinds of Perl things is everyone doing these days?<br></blockquote></div><br><div>Mongers,</div><div><br></div><div>I am just wrapping up a data conversion project using Perl 5 and Groovy. I used Groovy to do some address validation using a Java based package called MelissaData.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Besides the pretty complex conversions I wrote dozens of reports to identify inconsistent data so it could be cleaned up before the conversion.</div><div><br></div><div>The client was pretty happy with how fast I could create new reports and make changes to the conversion algorithm.

<div><br></div><div>About a year ago I was working on a project to generate Java code using Perl 5. The Perl reads XML to generate Axis2 based webservices. The Perl code generates .java, .wsdl, and .html. The XML is documentation of mainframe transactions. The idea was to turn mainframe transactions into webservices.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Anyway, I am looking for another gig; I am especially interested in the Financial SW. I have been studying CUDA in hopes of using it for financial SW.
