Message-ID: I just wanted to drop a note in to say hi and introduce myself. =] I'm Jim Meyer and I'm a Perlaholic. So much so I asked Perl Mongers to start this mailing list so that I could hang out with other Perlaholics. I work for Disney Feature Animation in Technical Support where, among other bits, I write a lot of Perl code to automate system maintenance jobs, get information up on our Intranet, and anything else which seems to need a bit of help in getting done. I've only just recently reached the point where I felt I needed the Advanced Perl Programming (Panther) book; however, my copy of the Camel book is incredibly dog-eared. My latest cool stuff has been to write a module which uses a standard comment header at the top of a script to derive answers to -help, -syntax, -version, and -history command line options; it's really nice to get those functions for free now and it's easier to keep the comment header up to date than it is to keep separate documentation in sync. Or so I think. =] I'm also about to disappear for about a month in order to get married and honeymoon in Italy for three weeks. When I get back, I look forward to chatting with you folks and planning our first meeting (anyone here scared at the sight of beer? After Italy, I'm gonna be ready for a large, dark one. =) Meanwhile, I think we're fairly few at this point; jump right in and introduce yourselves! Bon giorno e ciao...for now! --j -- Jim Meyer (purp@selequa.com) http://www.selequa.com/~purp GCS/CA/FA>AT d- s: a C+++$>++++ UI++++$ L+++>++++ P+++$>+++++ E(>++) W++ N+ o K? w-- O- M+ V-- Y+ b+++ DI++ D+ G++ e* r++>+++990620.000000UTC -- Geek Code v3.12 http://www.geekcode.com -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe: send "unsubscribe burbank-pm-list" to majordomo@pm.org << >> To get a human's attention: send email to owner-burbank-pm-list@pm.org << >> To become independently wealthy: buy low, sell high. << From eesti at corp.earthlink.net Fri Jun 18 15:09:10 1999 From: eesti at corp.earthlink.net (Aleksey Tsalolikhin) Date: Wed Aug 4 23:59:08 2004 Subject: B.pm: Re: BPM: Hello!

Congratulations on your wedding and have a great time in Italy! I work for EarthLink in the Web System Administration group, which is where I first came across perl about four years ago, and I've been fallen with it's power and gentlest learning curve ever since. I wrote an account auto-provisioning system for the free websites that we supply with the dial-up accounts about 3.5 years ago and it went from handling tens of signups a day to hundreds, and I'm watching to see it go over a 1,000. It's really a pleasure to have built something robust and maintenable, and it's impressive considering I was still rather new to the language. Looking forward to hearing from the other folks, Aleksey -- Aleksey Tsalolikhin eesti@corp.earthlink.net Sr. Web System Administrator EarthLink Network, Inc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe: send "unsubscribe burbank-pm-list" to majordomo@pm.org << >> To get a human's attention: send email to owner-burbank-pm-list@pm.org << >> To become independently wealthy: buy low, sell high. <<
