Brian, thank you so much for passing this on. I know that I tune in and out of Perl message threads, but I had missed seeing that Nick Ing-Simmons had died.

I will definitely miss him. -- Mike Arms _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
