Phoenix Network Forums

Hello everybody. This is Chris. I'm not the really talkative guy, so I think I'll have real trouble finding something interesting to say for fifteen times in a row. I was looking for a shell account, to get some boring tasks done on the internet. I was thinking of using some kind of perl script, however I'm really kind of ignorant on the subject.

Well, you nice guys could give me some pointer to fast good guides on perl if you have time. And maybe explain to me what you can do with bots and eggdroppers (or what they're called). (to me bots are only those things that look like people on chats but are not) They sound like fun.

In turn I can help you if you have some math questions (and you don't want to bother posting on sci.math) I usually enjoy them... or maybe I could give you a hand if you're planning to spend your vacations in Italy...

(Post 1/15, sigh sigh)

Try using Google next time.

Here are some links I found just trying "Perl tutorials":

Welcome to Phoenix! And I am very happy to hear that you won't be spamming just to get a shell. We need more smart people

We are more than welcomed to have you, but I'm curious if you would be better off using your local network than a shell server. It really depends on what you want to do, but if you are interesting in using a *nix shell server to experiment I'd understand wanting to have just that instead of diving into a complete *nix install.
