Walter ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 15:18:03 -0400 From: "Sandberg, Ral" To: "'walter@frii.com'" Subject: perl consulting (Boulder area) Hi Walter, I found your mailto on perl.org. We are having a problem that is seemingly related to the dynamic loading of certain modules by a perl script being executed by a C++ program. We are trying to find somebody local who is knowledgeable on this subject and who might be available in the very short term to help us get through this problem. Could you recommend one or more consultants (including yourself, if applicable) who might be suitable and interested?

This is great news. It must be very gratifying to see your idea and effort get some wider recognition!
