So I had a blog post all done up and good to go, when my computer blue screened. It is my own fault, I just plugged a hard drive into it so that I could work from it today instead of killing laptop batteries. I just cant remember what I had typed out.

So for that you get nothing other then my first real perl script

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $word = "Times";
my $number = 12;

print "$number $word $number is ", $number * $number "\n";

yup that's it.Simple, to the point, and does something. It is a begining and that is the important part. I am not trying to be a perl expert or anything, I am just trying to get the basics of it, after all these years.

I think I am also going to work on some powershell scripting as well sooner or later.
