Btw Jim, I didn't realize you were at least partially a Perl guy. So few of us left.

My first job after graduation was working in AIX on a RISC/6000, developing transaction programs. I don't even remember the names of half of the languages I've used along the way.

There was once a full FOF game engine running on perl/cgi. You could chose a team and call the plays. Couldn't for the life of me figure out what to do with it. Neither could my producer at EA, so I never did anything with it.
