Hi all, I''m not a gifted programmer, but I have this ambitious plan. I run a non-commercial site about search engines and I have a lot of Perl scripts running doing all sorts of search things, f.e. one section searches Google-documentes in Dutch at http://www.voelspriet.nl/googledocumentenzoeker

RE: shebang line that works for multiple Perl binary locations

If you are happy to have all your perl run with the same flags (e.g. -wT), you can configure Apache to ignore the shebang line and use registry associations Either with a global ScriptInterpreterSource registry or on a per-directory basis ... other options snipped...

RE: Please point me to a language (perl I hope)

Please stop making life difficult for yourself. If you need just a small part of a large image to animate, chop up the large image so the animated part can be isolated, place all the parts in a table to unite them and animate the needed part. As for the person walking, either use the above techn

Re: doing work on the side
