Hi there! First of all let me thank those nice people who read the intro of the Perl Weekly last week and notified me about the funny typo I made. It means a lot that some people care and are ready to dispatch an email to me! Last week I managed to write 'not' instead of 'now'. The sentence correctly is: Also Sticker You is NOW sponsoring the Perl Maven site. Yay! Enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |
