I hope everyone survived the snow. Anyway, I think it would be cool if we started working on something.. a good start might be our web site (yes, we have one, http://rochester.pm.org) I admit, it's not very exciting. Also, as part of the Perl Community, many people have what they call a "JAPH". A japh is used as a signature at the bottom of your email, etc (most people have funny quotes or annoying little ASCII graphics). A JAPH is a bit of Perl code that prints out simply "Just another perl hacker", when run through perl. The catch is, you can't really just do a: print "Just another perl hacker"; (well, you can, but it's pretty un-interesting. Just trying to devise something can take lots of time and brain hurt. I guess a good thing to do is se if anyone else here has ever tried to make one? If so, let's all see it, and try to figure out what exactly it's doing. Here's mine, se if you can figure out what it's doing: $_=",.,,,.,,.,,.,,,,..,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,..,..,,.,, ,,,,";s/\s//gs;tr/,./05/;@a=split(//);$_=;tr/~`'"^/0-4/;map{$o .=$a[$i]+$_;$i++}split(//);@a=$o=~m!...!g;map{print chr}@a; __DATA__ ~'^``'``~```~"'~^'``~```````~^`~```^~"'``'`~```^`~"~"'`~^~^'~^^`~'`~```^ Note: they look a lot nicer when you're using a fixed width font to view your email. So, basically, if you just copy those 4 lines (4 lines is usually the limit) into a file, then do: perl filename it'll print out "Just another perl hacker". Pretty cool. Anyone else willing to give it a shot?

Some of the examples are short, and something that is pretty easy to figure out, but the documentation is very nice. Some code in there accomplished tasks I had already tackled, but the book's code usually did it better. Justin C.

It starts with a 5 page or so overview of the topic, then many usable code samples are given, followed by full program which is generally useful. Its got my vote as the best perl book ever, my copy has already got that well-worn look that all the best books get. > The Perl Cookbook has been out for a month or 2 now.. does anyone have > it?
