...like me, and have spent time tearing your hair out over "Global symbol $foo requires strict checking"-type errors and have occasionally been reduced to finding sections of code that do something like what you want to and copying them, I come bearing tutorials:

Useful scripts

[denise]

(Can you tell I've been coding lately? Like the last four posts here have been from me ...)

I was talking with rb this evening about useful scripts I have put together for my dreamhack -- some of which I came up with myself, and some of which I stole from other people, such as mark -- and figured it would be a good idea to post them and ask everybody else to post their own useful scripts!

(If you want to install these to your own 'hack, put them in ~/bin and then chmod +x filename to make them executable.)

( my scripts, and what they do )

So, what other useful scripts do you have?
