Making Perl Work for You

Presented by brian d foy

Abstract

There's just not enough time in the day to get everything done, but most of the time our computers sit there doing nothing. I started my technology career in physics, where I started maxing out CPUs at 5 pm and kept it that way until 7 am. If someone wasn't using the computer, I had a Perl script doing something useful. I had better things to do, such as doing crosswords or playing Minesweeper. Given some Perl chops, you can get computers working for you rather than the other way around, so you too can spend more time with Minesweeper.
