Hello Mike et al., How are you? Thank you for your reply. I mainly want the PAUSE account to practice writing modules and hopefully develop my own to process files and directories. It’s not that I have my Perl code ready to go, but it’s a little sad that it takes ‘up to three weeks’ to get a PAUSE account. I love the beauty and elegance of Perl, but we as a community have to respond to such basic requests much faster. Now I see one of the reasons Perl lost to Python. William, Take the initiative in your own hands. What I do is I try to use Perl as an auxiliary language to perform additional programming tasks like launching computing jobs on a supercomputer, pre-processing or post-processing files and updating my MacPorts system. You will soon realise that there are plenty of such tasks. Thank you and have a healthy, successful and productive New Year 2024 ahead! — Best wishes, Maxim Maxim Abalenkov \\ [email protected] +44 7 486 486 505 \\ www.maxim.abalenkov.uk > On 25 Dec 2023, at 18:00, Mike <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Great question.

I’m reading the ‘Intermediate Perl’ textbook. It suggests applying for a PAUSE account. I applied a couple of days ago using the link listed in the book. However, I still haven’t received any reply. Am I doing something wrong? Shall I be more patient or is the advice in the book no longer relevant? Please let me know.
