Welcome to Jim's Script Page!
My name is Jim Turner (turnerjw784 aattsymbolthingy yahoo.com). I am a Perl programmer from Texas who primarily does Perl/CGI web and Perl/Tk applications and tools. I graduated from Texas A&M University in 1984 with a BS in Computer Science. This is my 1st stab at a homepage! Since I do this all day at work, I hardly ever feel like spending much time on a homepage. My primary purpose for this site is to provide the world (and myself when on the road) with the opportunity to download some of my scripts.

Visit my Blog (mostly technical notes I save in order to access when and where I need them)

To download a script, rightclick on it and save the link. Stay tuned for updates!

That said, Enjoy the Ride!

I now am using "PAR" to build some Windows (and maybe later Linux) binaries. I have started with SqlPerlPlus. Download the Windows Binary today! You should also download the source in order to get the utilities and configuration files. I have never been able to post Windows binaries due to my unwillingness to purchase the "Perl2Exe" "compiler", but PAR is FREE (Open Source) and seems to work better, so here goes!

All Perl scripts should now work on Windows, as well as good ol' Linux/Unix!
