I am glad to hear it. :-)

Well in the past 7 years I have been in SCM, instead of development, and have 
wound up being a developer in SCM land! How nice!

So I have written entire applications to do build releases with various code 
repositories like cvs, svn, pvcs (pcli), and now clearcase.

I am also doing a lot now with clearquest hooks (written in perl), and 
clearquest applications.

I have written a lot of perl/Tk to support a lot of the command line stuff 
that I have written.

Anyway I am having a blast.
I would like to learn a lot more about ruby though, but I don't have the 
time! ;-)

Anyway my post was not meant as a flame. Just a query.
I have just moved down to the valley (11/26) to be exact. And I am having a 
blast here too.

I would be happy to share with y'all anything that I know.

Happy Trails,

Jerry
