I presume this means that search.cpan.org, perlmonks.org, perl.com make Google searches un-necessary. Anyway, enough time wasted at Google Trends: I've got three business- critical apps to extend, a class B network to scan and record in a DBMS and some LDAP wrangling to do. All in Perl, of course. -- Chris Benson
