Re: About staying brushed up on perl

I am now 73 years old and retired one year ago. I used Perl extensively from 1998 until I retired. It can be hard to remember all the tricks, even when you use or write Perl often. When I learned or developed a useful technique, I would keep the program or a bit of it around. I have lots of
