Feb 2004: I am on active duty with the United States Army and mostly away from the internet and any computer work until the summer of 2004. Andy Lester (andy@petdance.com) can take care of any Perl stuff I have. Randal Schwartz (merlyn@stonehenge.com) can take care of anything relating to my work with Stonehenge.
