And if you are going to write anything that will take more than about 
half a page, do a search on CPAN and you will likely find it is already 
done as a module with examples of how you write your one line with the 
parameters to invoke it.  For those advocating other languages, please 
provide the equivalent location of a repository of available code.  Java 
might be getting close in terms of available library and database 
connector code, but I don't think there is a centralized way to find 
anything.
