I'm curious as to what the various users are doing with perl, what they're development environment/target platforms are. I presently use it to write tools and as a general development language (have one app that is 25000 LOC). I target solaris and sometimes Windows XX and typically use Xemacs to develop in. I'm enamored with XP and basically try to TDD most of the time when using Perl. Forrest __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security.

We haven't had regular meetings for awhile now, so you haven't missed much :) I aim to change that, but probably not until next year, which really isn't that far away :-) I've temporarily put a sloppy update on the oc.pm.org page to that effect. I'll be cleaning up that page and bringing it up to date as soon as I can. > I'm curious as to what the various users are doing > with perl, what they're development environment/target > platforms are. At work, our main products are in Informix 4GL (character based screen app) and Centura SqlWindows (GUI - like VB or Powerbuilder), but I manage to write utilities on both Unix and Windows to do various things like generating some tedious to write 4GL, managing patches to our source code (since we don't use version control on the 4GL and the version control on the Centura code, well, sucks :). Also any complicated database data fixing that can't be done in one SQL statement I do in perl. And in my spare time, I fiddle with Tk and Wx. I've tried to learn emacs, but I've been too productive with vi for too long, and I'm still finding out neat things that vim can do. I'm not currently doing any web-based programming, though I have done that in the past, and at one employer, I had the wonderful opportunity to write 30 or 40 database loading routines (mostly from fixed-length format files), after which I took over and rewrote the Parse::FixedLength module which I used to write a few more data loading routines.

The pragmatic programmers summed it up well, "Emacs has a near vertical learning curve, but once you're over it, it pays off." I suppose pairing with an emacs guru might give one the inspiration to go with it. I've written a gui based perl object browser at work (unfortunatley it's a classified project, so I won't be able to bring the code out), so I'm inclined to write gui based development tools to integrate w/emacs to provide a spiffy IDE for perl one of these days.
