<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Nice one Rene.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My name is Daniel and I am the Admin/Webmaster for
this list and the HBPM site. Other than you and I, there are two other
subscribers at the moment. I am sure they will introduce
themselves.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for the site, it gets updated when I can. So far
on the next minor update I plan to add a link to your HBLUG site, aswell as the
Oakland PM site (You will understand the choice eventually)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Shell programming is very similar to Perl
scripting. The difference is that one is being executed by the shell, the other
by Perl (I know... DUH!). But this effects the commands that you can call. And
means that you can use the Perl scripts on any platform with Perl installed
(With the right tweaking occasionally), and are not limited to a *nix OS. In
saying that, I hate Windows! so Linux is my OS of choice. Also, Perl is one of
the most widely used languages for CGI scripting, and that is currently my main
use of it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, thanks for joining us. I look forward to
sharing our knowledge with you and visa-versa.</FONT></DIV>
