Minor triumph:
I got the image map to ImageReady action perl script happenning.
This is of limited use :) but is a milestone in that most perl scripts I've ever embarked on making died somewhere in progress. And it successfully parses a html file...
(drop me a line if you want to take a look: sam@sam-i-am.com )

The time has come for a blog.
I ought to have done this 4 years ago... but I didn't, and so now I have to catch up.
