Spell Check ...

[Brandon Gohsman]

Matt,

I sent your idea to Lin and Mike, the partners here at Square One, to see if
they are interested. If they aren't, I am going to have to berate them.

Here is a problem, however, that I constantly have to deal with: We don't
host anything ourselves. Because of this, we don't have administrative
access to any of the web servers that our sites end up on. This can make
installing a Perl module more of a political issue than a semantic one. Any
suggestions on how to get around this sort of ilk?

Thanks,

  Gee Al, you really should like, come to meetings and stuff.

  At the meeting, someone said it was worth 300 man-hours
of effort.  I figured I'd see if  they'd pay $500.00.  :-)

  For that matter, I then wanted to give 80% of the proceeds
to GR.PM, mostly because I knew it wasn't worth that much.
Still, free books and lunches are like, cool and stuff.

  But, even if I downloaded a module from CPAN and installed
it, I'd charge a one hour fee.  Hence the remaining 20%.  (Most
enterprises still need to pay somebody to FTP and download
and call the script.)

  Besides that, note that I admitted I'd do it for free.  The point
was not to get $$$, the point was to write a package in Perl
and then show the GR.PM's how to write packages in Perl.
Last time I checked, that was our mission.  So it's redundant.
So what?

  Make sense?
