Learn Perl

I finally compiled gaim-1.5.0 with perl support. Holy Fucking Shit.

I even got it to respond to incoming/outgoing message signals. One lunch break soon, I’m going to have something actually working :D

I’m also eying Net::Jabber from a distance to cut out the middleman of gaim and provide a UI-less resource of some kind: daniel.oconnor@gmail.com/search

I don’t know if I should just hijack an instance of gaim for it, compiled so you can run multiple instances, or if I should run with Net::Jabber.

But, it’s early, I just rode my bike in the rain to work and I should probably actually do some!

So I can finish my toy application before I die of old age.

Perl seems a snap.
