What would be a good language to send keystrokes to third programs. Such as skype, emulators, and such. It can be a scripting language or an OOP language. Any suggestions?
The following works in PowerShell:
[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("'Microsoft.VisualBasic")
[Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction]::AppActivate("Readme.txt - Notepad")
[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("'System.Windows.Forms")
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("ABCDEFGHIJKLM")

AutoIt - http://www.autoitscript.com/
AutoHotkey - http://www.autohotkey.com/
I personally prefer AutoIt because its not as cryptic but both are easy to learn and pretty powerful when it comes to creating macros.

I want to learn Perl and thought that the most of GNU Coreutils seems to be doing stuff which are well suited for the language. Is there any Perl implementation of it (at least the basic functionality) which I could look at for comparison?
In my experience, looking at code is the second best way to learn a language (after writing code). I'm interested both in quick-and-dirty implementations and clean code which covers edge cases as well.
For example, cat could be implemented as
alias cat='perl -Tpe "" --'
although there are some edge cases where it doesn't behave the same. And of course it ignores all flags.
This has already been done years ago: http://search.cpan.org/dist/ppt/

I know it is possible to create classes/objects in Perl using the bless function and modules. Is there any CPAN module that would make this easier, preferably with automatic getter/setter generation?
Moose is a godsend. There are some notes in Moose - a guide to the new revolution by Ricardo Signes which are good, as well as the manual.

MS Word is nothing short of irritating to use for any sort of software development work (notes, documentation, etc.), which is likely why many people use other tools (notepad++, etc.)
Asides from turning off spell-check & grammar check functionality for a word document, our only other option is to create a new style for the document, and disable proofing for that style, as documented here: Systems documentation and MS Word
Has anyone out there come accross any particularily good custom dictionaries which covers words common to engineering, software development, etc.?
This would certainly be helpful in aleviating the frustration level a bit. The dictionary could always be imported into other word processing tools as well.
Cheers and TIA - Ray
Change the language to something obscure like Farci or Klingon.

I found several JavaScript testing frameworks with a quick Google search: Jasmine, jsUnity, JSpec, YUI Test, JsUnit, QUnit
I'm sure that this is by no means an exhaustive list.
Has anyone written CoffeeScript koans in one of these frameworks, similar to the EdgeCase ruby koans?
I really enjoyed going through them and going through the python-koans. Each exercise significantly improved my language comfort level, and I'm really hoping that similar exercises exist for CoffeeScript.
Did you try Googling "CoffeeScript Koans"? :)

(They're powered by Jasmine.)

I'm looking into frameworks for translation, and have been considering gettext. Because it's supposedly quite good, and lots of projects use it. Now I read part of the official manual, but it sucked. I kind of have an idea how it works now, but I have no idea where to get started.
In particular my project spans C++, Lua and Javascript, so I'd love to be able to unify the i18n with a single tool, but I'm also not having luck finding gettext good support for Lua or Javascript, are they supported, has anybody used gettext with these?
Thanks.
How about this tutorial? Another example is at O'Reilly.
