The binding operators, =~ or !~, come in handy when you are framing conditional statements in Perl using Regular Expressions, for example, testing whether x =~ /\d+/ or not. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Using a command line tool like ImageMagick for image processing may sound a really counter-intuitive thing to do but there&#8217;s no need to do everything on a case by case interactive basis. Image resizing and format conversion come to mind here. Helper programs are used behind the scenes too with Ghostscript being used to create [...]]]></description>

I haven&#8217;t used Perl sufficiently in this shared hosting set up to determine how that is affected. In contrast, I can share my experiences [...]]]></description>
