stretching my brain

hoo boy. there's some log processing i want to do on my html logs, so i figured i'd write a perl script to do it.

i am so *not* a programmer. or even a script-thug. so this is being good brain-stretching. i'm sitting around with a drink and a copy of "programming perl". it's very slow going, since i haven't done anything like this in a while.

i generally learn enough to do whatever it was that i wanted to do and then forget most of what i learned. so i have to re-climb the learning curve enough to write this.

Don't worry...

That's what they say, but I don't believe it.

If anyone has any good hints on on Learning To Program When Your Brain Keeps Saying "Oh No, You Don't!" I'd /love/ to hear them...
