New Page: Perl / CGI RegExs & Snippets
I’ve been developing websites in Perl (CGI) since 2003 — any website of mine that isn’t backed-by-PHP is backed by Perl, 100% of the time. Over the years, I’ve accumulated a number of regexs, code snippets and so forth that are very, very handy for the coder who still utilizes perl for their website. So, I put together a page, which will be continually updated, which shares these code snippets and regular expressions — literally a “cheat sheet” of Perl coding.
Importance of beta testers
I’ve been writing different programs/services in Perl for maybe 2-3 years. I’m pretty handy with it: built a few affiliate programs, 2 shopping carts, multiple websites & services: pretty much everything I write is in perl nowdays. The thing is, everything I’ve created didn’t need to be installed by someone else. My programs were either for my personal use or are not meant for the end user to mess with the code itself, they only see the function of it.
