Currently, I don't do anything for a living. I am interested in writing
utilities, but I think your idea regarding the adding and removing accounts
is a bit too complex for me at the moment. When I originally started with
perl I wanted to know how to write spiders (but I'm too cheap to buy the
O'Reilly book "Spidering hacks", and the library doesn't have it) allthough
i'm not sure my ISP allows it. I would also like to try writing
client/server applications, but this time I know that my ISP doesn't allow
you to run servers using it.

Any suggestions?

Joel
