Elaine,

Thanks for the Christmas cheer!  I agree, it's cute.

In answer to your questions:

1) what i like most about perl: easy to learn and powerful enough for lots
of needs
2) I started using Perl about 9 months ago.
3) I don't know what I don't know yet!  I guess I would like to be more
clear on system calls from Perl.
4) Are there other women around me in a technical position?  Yes.  i work
closely with a contractor who has been our Webmaster for about three years.
She has taught me just about everything!  Also, one of our two system
administrators is a woman.  I'm in good company.

Cheers, everyone,
