overachievers

My coding partner and I managed to write a perl script today. I should mention that neither of us actually know perl. We basically took a script that did something similar (download a bunch of mainframe data into a spreadsheet), figured out what the statements did, and adapted it to our needs. I'd liken it to taking a document in Spanish and a basic dictionary and turning it into passable Italian. We figured out how to test our code right before the end of the day and figured out that our logic almost works. If we're feeling productive, we might be able to get our code working perfectly before the introductory perl class we're taking tomorrow morning. Heh.

It was a hell of a way to end my day.
