I seem to recall an article put out by the MDA before the last presidential election. The concern was, what effect would/could the outcome have on the future of the MDA.
Overall, they felt confident that even if Bush lost the election, they would fair well for two reasons:
1. The MDA recieves less than 3 percent of the overall DOD budget so its not like you're going to save that much by cutting the program.
2. An overwhelming number of Americans feel that a defensive weapon system of this type is worth the price.
Of course, based on the latest news, maybe they should be spending a little more here and less on offensive systems...

I have found www.perldoc.com quite useful for multiple versions of perl.
Don't forget all of the 'security patch' work that requires attention.
