I've started transferring my modules to my new PAUSE Id BRIANDFOY since I'm also getting rid of all references to the old email address and just using my real one. No big whoop, but now my PAUSE Id looks more like the names I use everywhere else.

Hey, @WaveHQ @levinsoncxpa, your payroll processing meltdown with @check_hq means you took more money out of my business account than I authorized. If you had customer service, maybe I could resolve this, but you don't. My bank suggests I report you for fraud. What do you want.

Perl may be a good tool, and it may be good for the task, but it might not be good for the person who has to use it.

Perl's Karl Williamson asks a question on Stackoverflow and the first comment points him at the perldocs, which he wrote. But then, I've searched for things and ended up on something I wrote a long time ago.
