1) Work on MVS, but don't have access to Perl under MVS. Download
a number of files and process under Perl to use in a more user firendly setup.
2) Until I had to move to a Sun box, I ran a whole series of
scripts which worked off trigger files and send in the neighborhood of 50k+
emails a month internally on probably around a hour a day of processing.
3) Assist other developers on a regular basis of taking data and
generating into another format for Sql queries or reformatting data in
preparation of being loaded into another database ( MS Access )
I use it for all things and have yet to find anything else that is as
useful and quick to respond to a users need.
