David, Octavian, Mr. Randal Schwartz, Shlomy & Lan Thank all of you!:)
I really didn't expected to receive so many helps from all of you, that really inspired me alot. And I was really stunned when I first saw Randal's name appeared in my reply list... Maybe that's what mail-list is. I think I'll always go to stonehenge to read the columns, since I found it really another way to learn perl, and enjoy the reading. I really want to take part in the programs Shlomy mentioned, but I don't think I'm capable now, since I found that still don't know how to use "git". Maybe I have to do more study before I get to know how to take part in it? Anyway, I'll go on my study. 2009/8/11 Ian <pcs...@gmail.com> > Xu, > > I'm a Mainframe Systems Programmer.
