Perl

Seth would be proud. I just resorted to writing a Perl script to replace the Python-based squid redirector that was giving me trouble. (I’ve expressed prejudices against Perl to him in the past…but when it come down to writing a 10 liner to manipulate strings, you really can’t beat it.)

    Oh, no. Because it’s way too lame a perl script to show off, because
    i’m currently re-processing the same string that I don’t need to over
    and over.

    I already intend to ask you the right way to do it in Perl. I just got
    it working for now.

    Seth fixed up the Perl script for me. It’s nice and clean and easy to read now, also easier to configure sites, too. Thanks!
