<P>Larry said this on the perl6-language list today, I thought it was relevant to what you just said.
<P><I>At the
moment, I'm not only trying to follow along here; I'm also reading all
the books on computer languaes</I>[sic]<I> I can get my hands on--not just to look
for ideas to steal, but also to remind myself of the mindset Perl was
designed to escape.</I>
<P><CODE>local $_ = "0A72656B636148206C72655020726568746F6E41207473754A";
while(s/..$//) { print chr(hex($&)) }</CODE></P>
