Hah! Finally a coder who likes perl. I only know perl and c (and some legacy languages), so it's annoying as heck to hear people talk about how lame perl is (preferring Python, or even Minx, whatever that is).
But I don't get it! Did you forget to initiate your god or your hoh?
I code almost exclusively in perl. I just love pounding out quick and dirty code, and I *love* making my scripts smaller by using shortcuts and piggybacking functions. Never was big on the whole compiled language thing ever since it took me 2 hours to discover I had a } where I should have had a ], and the compiler was no help of course...
Perl is teh awesome. Python is supposed to be perl-like, but nothing will replace my affection for perl. :)
btw, I hate it most when a new language *cough*ruby*cough* comes out and everyone is so quick to say it's better faster stronger than perl and all perl scripts must be translated immediately.
Yeah, right. When that new-fangled language attains the same level ubiquity perl has, then we'll talk...
Lily Burk's story is about a young girl's trust and our failure as a society. It includes a family friend of hers who joins the discussion and unbelievably offers the beliefs that perpetuate these horrors. Read the posts and comments starting here. Never forget that these people exist.
Remember James Broadnax
He wounded and executed two Christian music producers for $2 and a car so he wouldn't have to walk home. Watch the interview with the remorseless murderer that changed my life. Never forget that these people exist.

Lol, thanks for the laugh.

oh yeah, (again) that code works, it's just tough to wrap your head around. :)
do ($this) || die "in horrific pain\n";
That's the edict I'd lay out to my butlers and maids, if I had butlers and maids. Could that be why I have no butlers or maids?
YES! Ruby is the other one. Don't know it. Never will know it. Could care less. Much less.
