Grant McLean looks at Sprog on O'Reilly. "We've all been there--a data translation problem rears its head and you reach for your toolkit of Perl snippets. It might involve parsing a CSV file, extracting MIME attachments, generating bulk SQL insert statements, or scraping data from a web application. You know you have code lying around that'll take you halfway there, if only you could find it. Then there's the problem of pulling it all together. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to catalog your code snippets?"
