First Perl program! (Score:1)

It's interesting you bring this up. Here's a link to my very FIRST Perl program ever:
http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~dolan/gurps/galdist.cgi [wisc.edu]

It computes actual and perceived travel times for relativistic journeys between nearby star systems. I wrote it for a (short-lived) sci-fi RPG campaign back in 1999. All of the players in the game were astronomy PhD students, like me, so I had to get the math right. :-)
