Has anybody done any really interesting Perl "hacks" that they are proud of? ... Does anyone have stories of replacing huge C/C++/Python etc programs with a Perl one-liner? ... Has Perl ever saved anyone's job? Their life? ... Has anyone ever persuaded their boss to let them "prototype" a large (C/C++...) job with Perl, and then just used the "prototype"? ... Has anyone ever got themselves into serious poo by using Perl when they should have used something else? Regards, Ian Boreham
