Where I work we do an awful lot of stuff in Perl. In fact the basis of our anti-virus solution - a custom anti-virus engine called Skeptic - is entirely written in Perl (well, with some decoding stuff in C). It's so good that we offer a 100% anti-virus guarantee. Now the UK Government have decided to let us scan their email for viruses. Good news indeed, and definitely a win for Perl.
Now I just have to work on the boss to get him to contribute to the Perl Foundation...
So you lot are behind the mystery of the missing apostrophe...

Hehe... clients write their own sigs.
Maybe someone should point them to one of their own sites.Re:So it's your fault...

Thanks for the awesome link! I particularly like the fact that it links to my favorite explanation of the subject: Bob the Angry Flower's Quick Guide to the Apostrophe, You Idiots, which I've been enjoying periodically for about a year now.
:) [Sometimes I worry that I have a lot of pent up frustration over little things that I need to vent some day.]
