Title: Just hello world
Post by: trudge on June 13, 2016, 11:00:18 PM
Hello all - just a quick visit here. My first visit after using this amazing tool a few times. Am I right in it using Perl - I see references to Perl in the docs. Spent many years developing web sites and MySQL (MariaDB) web sites for clients in London ON. I absolutely love the language.

Anyhoo, keep on keepin' on eh!

Ahh, very interesting. I lived in London for about 30 years but now back up north. Waterloo U has some good stuff coming out of there (Tunnel Bear).

I've used Perl to write scripts for work then used Platypus to get a clickable icon / DMG - a colleague wasn't comfortable in a shell window. It worked very well.
