Interesting. I work in document management.
The project I'm working on at home, I guess I could accurately describe as my own spin on digital asset management. It will be a piecing-together of various small imaging-related programs I've written for my own use over the past ten years.
As for O-O Perl, since getting the book and also consulting some other books in my collection, I've written a couple of little test programs. So far, I've succeeded at using O-O Perl with the modules for graphics (ImageMagick) and user interfaces (Tkx). The past few days, I've been studying the use of DBI, the module for databases. I've got several years experience with ImageMagick, so I need no further practice with that. Once I've got the hang of Tkx and DBI, I'll be ready to do the serious work on my project.
