RE: Perl - Was unix time conversion function

Title: unix time conversion function

Now that's what I call a "Perl Breakdown!!" ...A nervous breakdown brought on by pathological eclecticism. The cure for this is a healthy dose of Python. It is truly refreshing!!     Steve Orr Oracle DBA and part-time Python Evangelist.   -----Original Message----- From: Robert Freeman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 27, 2003 11:40 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject: Perl - Was unix time conversion function Cary.... I once thought I wanted to do some Perl coding... So I bought a book and started to play with it. It made my head bleed... literally I had little droplets of blood emerging from my head.... They rushed me to the hospital and put me in the Perl ward where I languished for days on IV's of Mountain Dew and pulverized Ritz crackers..... it was close.   In my mind there is nothing obvious about Perl, this coming from and old C coder who did pointers and linked lists in his sleep years ago. I don't know, maybe I was having a bad day and it's time to get my "learning Perl" book out again....   Anyone else feel that way about Perl or am I a lone wolf in a Perl world?   RF
