Yet another Perl page

"In trying to make programming predictable, computer scientists have mostly succeeded in making it boring"
-- Larry Wall, interview in The Perl Journal, vol. 1 issue 1.

I like Perl ...

and play with it instead of doing the real work I should...

- What is Perl?
- It's a scripting/programming language, and it differs from others in that (among other things) it's fun. Visit any or all of these to find out more: The Perl language home page, The Perl Institute, The Perl Journal, Activestate, or any site on the perl ring, or read an interview of it's author.

Here, you will find:

Perl and Internet mail related stuff
A few perl scripts I find useful
A Larry Wall quote (75% of the time; reload the page if you get a French quote you don't understand or if you don't like the dry humor of Desproges).
and an interview he gave to Dr Dobb's Journal.
The time here in Switzerland on the Camel-clock in the corner. You probably don't care about the local time here, but if you want the code, which uses Lincoln D. Stein's GD.pm module, here it is.
and when I find the time, I intend to add more, mainly related to film and video like manipulating time-codes, edit lists, controlling Beta players etc... suggestions welcome. (I actually already use a few such things, so just mail me if you are interested in film and/or video related scripts)

And since blogs are en vogue, maybe you would like to visit this one or this one ...

Also, would you believe that you are visitor number 4019960 on this site?...

Il y a plus d'humanité dans l'oeil d'un chien quand il remue la queue
que dans la queue de Le Pen quand il remue son oeil.
	-- Pierre Desproges, "Textes de scène"
