It&#39;s a live event that VBScripters, Windows PowerShell users and Perl developers should not miss.
How often do you get to compete with developers all over the world and win some cool prizes?
And since graduating, how often do your scripts get scored? I&#39;d say that&#39;s exciting.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
This year, the 2008 Winter Scripting Games added Perl into the contest category.
All Perl scripts will be tested using ActiveState&#39;s &lt;a href=&quot;/Products/activeperl/&quot;&gt;ActivePerl&lt;/a&gt;. W00t!
How exciting is that for us folks at ActiveState? Being thrilled with such honour,
we have sponsored some prizes including &lt;a href=&quot;/Products/perl_dev_kit/&quot;&gt;Perl Dev Kit&lt;/a&gt; licenses.
