    What languages you know: perl

    What you have programmed before (if anything): 10+ years perl experience.
    Largest program ~1000 lines. It's mostly for work though, and I don't want to associate this account with my real identity.

    What you hope to/are going to program for us: Item 1 will be a tarla/toolbar item grabber. Item 2 is a helper program that all my other programs will use. After that it'll just be whatever strikes my fancy, if anything.

    Any other info: I've got the program finished:

    Name: toolbarsim
    Description: automatically get tarla's giveaways whenever they come up
    Instructions: (if necessary) Read the comments at the begenning of the code for instructions.
    Recommended Cost: 20 (you can get some good items, but not often, and it wasn't hard to write)

    Program 2:
    Name: login_and_save_cookies
    Description: Login to neopets and save your cookies, so other programs can continue the same session and don't have to login.
    Instructions: Saves cookies in cookies.txt in currect directory. Requires WWW::Mechanize. (may be part of default activeperl install, if not, run "ppm install WWW-Mechanize" to install.
    Recomended Cost: 0 (useless by itself, but all my other programs will require it)

    Questions about uploading programs. Should I zip them? If so, should I include program 2 with program 1?

    Edit: Oops, I originally said warnold was gone, seeing his last post was in early November. But I saw that he recently visited the site.

    Congratulations on becoming a programmer War. :)
