Thanks.
I can't believe I've met another programmer here.
What are you doing at work? Not php I hope.
I can write Perl scripts for you if you want, but why?
The advantages Perl had 5 years ago don't exist now, the .net StringBuilder object and other .net string functionality coupled with modern processor speeds make script languages reduntant, apart from javascript.
And that's just because it's not Microsoft......Glen getting on his soap box again.

I'm developing Windows and web applications for a local council.
Using C#.net front-ends, asp.net for the web applications, for SQL Server 2000 and Oracle 9i databases.
