Just a simple [cpan.org] guy, hacking Perl for fun and profit since way back in the last millenium. You may find me hanging around in the monestary [perlmonks.org].
What am I working on right now? Probably the Sprog project [sourceforge.net].

s/FOO/BAR/;
A colleague is doing some maintenance of categories in a jobs database. One of the things he was asked to do was merge "Food and Beverage Workers" (code = "FOO") with "Bar Staff" (code = "BAR"). This necessitated running a query something like this:
UPDATE occupation SET category = "FOO" WHERE category = "BAR"
an endless discussion thread about what features to include.
