How Perl Got a Manager Programming Again
Slide 10
Community: CPAN
It took me about a year to become comfortable using "external" modules from CPAN.
I could
kick
myself for the lost opportunities!
Almost anything I want to do is about 90% done!
Parsing XML (for these slides)
Handling the serial port so I can manage my cell phone's address book
Getting CGI parameters and generating HTML
Connecting to Internet services
Building my expense reports and timesheets from my Palm Pilot data
Working with databases
Controlling lights with X10 modules
(We managers are used to just doing the final 10% and then taking the credit, so this works great for me.)
