Perl again

I last wrote some Perl programs in Minneapolis last year, and now I'm back doing more Perl stuff. I like Perl, kind of terse but easy to grok. What I need done is to reformat a lot of huge text files containing logs, or performance statitics. Doing it in Perl beats trying to edit the files in Word or Excel line by line.
Even better than Perl is a tool I found called Perl2exe which takes my humble little Perl scripts and converts them to stand alone .exe files. Very cool. Now I can share and my colleagues can run the programs without having Perl on their PC's. Also, they can't steal my code!

So, I am stoked to write more Perl!
