Hi Dan,
This presentation is really nice.
I went over it a couple of times and I think this ppt will help me try
to use Haskell for things that I usually use Perl for :)

A quick question - import Process bombs on my GHCI(The Glorious
Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.3) -what do I need to
do for that?
