First post.
Awkward as it ever could be. This is my ver 2.0 in blogging. The last version, attempted quite a few years ago, didn't last too long. Hopefully this one will last longer and be more useful!
I'm a fledgling Perl programmer (~8 months around), navigating the currents created by vastly more experienced and knowledgeable users.
But I love this language, and have lots of plans and ambitions to learn more and put it to use in work and fun related issues (which happily intermix quite frequently).
I enjoy Perl both because of it's many advantages, and since it introduced me to the wonders of the open source world. I have to shamefully admit that before this beneficial introduction, I looked down upon OSS, mostly due to ignorance.
These days I'm a happy user of both Perl, and other wonderful programs such as Linux, GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Git, SVN and many others. One of my current points of focus is producing graphics with perl scripting. I've begun writing a tree generator script using the excellent module SVG. This already works but still lacks some functions and will be published quite soon I hope - after I decide on a suitable namespace.
I've actually been quite impressed with SVG and will likely write some posts about it in the future.
Fist post: over and out.
