Sounds like a great idea! :] I would be thrilled to coordinate such a thing, my only request being that we do it using HTML::Mason. Any objections?

HTML::Mason is for programmers-turned-programmable-web-page-hackers They both cover similar problem spaces, but Mason gives you more of the power in exchange for taking a little more of the responsibility. Here's a quick check to tell which one of those will work: If you ever feel the need to "edit" your pages with "an HTML editor", pick HTML::Embperl. Trust me on this test.

Up to now, I've been using perl mostly to manipulate the exported text version of a specialized power-network "database" that has few native database capabilities (and its computational capabilities aren't very good, either). You get what the company pays for. I only get 1 hour/week at most to work in Perl, so for now I'm just a step or two above novice. On the home front, I've got a self-imposed maintenance contract covering a spousal unit, a next-generation natural-intelligence-gathering & skateboard-riding unit, and a Springtime biomass overgrowth system. Perl development there depends on the aforementioned units both gone to visit friends while the self unit stays. BTW, in case you're interested in the Gatesian OS's, the HTML help system in ActivePerl for Win32 shows you how to access the scripting system built into the Gatesian big-league office applications. There's even an example of how to do operations with the Outlook e-mail client. A little more coding, and you could easily make a perl version of the "Love Bug" virus. If you have an antivirus disk-sweeper (e.g. Norton AV), it will delete the html file that contains the example. - Dennis McNulty -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

TIMTOWTDI From robb at empire2.com Tue May 23 13:50:19 2000 From: robb at empire2.com (Rob Bloodgood) Date: Wed Aug 4 00:05:09 2004 Subject: [Job Opening] Looking for qualified geeks... Message-ID: <3.0.5.32.20000523115019.008d0850@empire2.com> Well, I was at the PM meeting last week (or whenever that was) and the thing that was mentioned repeatedly was that several of the people present would be interested in better/different jobs. In that vein: I'm the head geek at a small internet startup, and I'm overwhelmed. I'm the only one that knows perl or any development anything. Our latest project is viewable at http://www.exitexchange.com This is an Linux/Apache/mod_perl site, backed by an Oracle database, and most of the dynamic PAGES are built w/ HTML::Embperl, with complex handlers written in mod_perl w/ templates for the output. Unfortunately, some of the design needs work because the goal was to get things up and running QUICKLY vs. CORRECTLY. So now I'm stuck in an annoying situation where "standard" sections of the pages are implemented as PL/SQL with HTP.P() all over the place. It makes it a real pain to maintain, as well as being slow as snot because each of these components has to make an LWP call back to the server . Porting this to embedded Perl/DBI isn't such a hard deal, except that my time is maxed. Any person who would be up to this task would be a VERY welcome addition to the team. I can't tell you how many times a month I write 15-line Perl scripts or do single shell-based operations that take around 20 minutes to do, but again only I can do it. The right person for this job doesn't have to be a hands-down, no-holds barred, all-encompassing wizard... we already have one of those. :-) But if you've got actual experience solving problems and developing solutions on a day-to-day basis, and you want to get in on a new startup that is a month or two away from accepting its first round of VC (lots of really nice toys! We just got a 4-CPU Sun 450 w/ 2GB RAM and 109GB RAID this morning), you should definitely contact me. My email appears in this message, or I can be reached M-F 10-6 and would love to hear from you.
