I love Perl. I really do. But it's been six years since I used it with any frequency, and re-learning it is a pain in the ... well, it's a pain.

I spent the better part of today writing a Perl program with the simple task (ha) of taking a raw text file of the Bible and converting it into something that iBible can use.

It's like re-learning a language that is somewhat familiar but not.

Anyway, I finally got it to work after nearly destroying my computer with a fist.

  1. Leif? Is this the same Leif Wright that attended the Metro Church of Norman nearly 20 years ago in Norman Oklahoma? If so you’ll likely remember me, my name is Angelica Mason – Doser, I now live in Mustang, OK with my husband, I was reading some stuff and found your name and thought maybe we could chat. Can you email me at adoser001@hotmail.com? Thanks!
