I have 8 years of Perl programming experience but only on Linux and other Unix 
platforms.  I very rarely do anything with Windows and so haven't had much cause 
to use ActivePerl yet.

That sounds quite interesting.  With respect to your migrations, have you come 
across any ways to make applications which talk ODBC to be able to use Perl's 
DBI module.  I understand that it's possible to write Perl programs to use DBI 
and DBD::ODBC but I've been thinking about writing a plugin which would work the 
other way: some MS program expects to talk to an ODBC database and instead can 
use DBI and DBD::Proxy somehow...

Me too.

As I said to Josberto, mostly I teach Perl and writing training materials for my 
courses.

My current project is a bit of fun though.  I'm writing an online web interface 
to replace an MS Access form for adding stuff to a database.  I've only recently 
discovered Class::DBI and HTML::FillInForm, but between them I've already saved 
about 10 hours!  I can highly recommend using these modules.

So, what have you been up to recently?

All the best,

    Jacinta
