You may also choose to write your code in Java or Python, in which case you are responsible for implementing any necessary interface code. Your submission must include a Makefile and README, and must compile on Linux 2.2 or 2.4 using g++ (for C++ code) or standard Sun tools (for Java code) or Python version 2.2. If your code depends on third-party packages, you must include a complete list of all packages, including exact version information and download URLs. Sorry, we cannot accept entries that require commercial software or other software that is not provided as open source or under GPL. Notice the absence of Perl. But having 900,00 web pages that you can download...just another day at the office ;-) "Brandon Gohsman" on 02/08/2002 09:42:51 AM Please respond to brandon@squareonedesign.com To: "Perl Mongers" cc: (bcc: Bill Day/C-I-G) Subject: Google Programming Contest Happy Friday all, Anyone want $10,000?

It doesn't violate the rules as I saw them written and it would let you leverage Perl's strengths. I get the impression that Google isn't looking for code-beauty, but for cool functionality.

Message-ID: <85256B66.00646694.00@corpny55wls01.mcgraw-hill.com> Steve Johnson will be presenting: "Network Management with Perl; SNMP Ain't So Simple". We will meet at: Priority Health, 1231 East Beltline, conference rooms B&C scheduled from 11:30 to 1:00pm. Keith Sederholm will be picking up lunch from Seoul Garden. If you would like Keith to pick up lunch for you please email Keith.Sederholm@priority-health.com before 9 a.m. Friday Keith has attached a scan of a menu from Asiana. Same owner and basically the same menu. The menu is older so the prices may not be quite right, but no delivery charge since Keith will be happy to go pick it up. The phone number for Seoul Garden is 956-1522 in case anyone needs it. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
