Hello there, Just downloaded MacPerl on Saturday. I've used it in research before, but have yet to author it (My professor with whom I did the research wrote the droplets), but I couldn't stand it any longer. I will probably be doing more research/ database development with it. Can anyone point me to good sources for getting started with it, including info. about database development with it? I am planning on visiting the two or three different websites listed in the info. file sent to me. We have massive amounts of info that we will want to extract out in an indexed fashion. Any help appreciated! Oh...and can Perl check characteristics such as bolding, Italics etc. I would assume so, but just ask anyway.
