We have toiled for 6 weeks, and alas......PERL


After an arduous 6 week battle with the benign concept of 'compatibility' our test machines simply did not want to accept, Stephanie and myself had seemingly finally made it to the point in our project that requires something we are familiar with: Coding. Such was not the case, however, as learning a new programming language, PERL, proved quite challenging.

One note of success this past week was coding in PERL to read a file, discard the junk, and output things in a much more organized fashion. Unfortunately, we were not able to make this work for my room, of which I was forced to manually clean. Some day.....

Aside from adding to my repertoire of French, Spanish, and C++, Stephanie and I also worked to expand upon Ben's GPU parsing scripts from last year, and also browsed through documentation to clean up and debug for our own future reference. We are confident that when we finish, our documentation will be PERLy clean.
