> and here is the time-honored japhy

You got me all excited because legendary Big Apple Perl Monk japhy is one of my favourite monks - and a golfing buddy from the early years. Good save though because seeing your beautiful and original japh cheered me up after my initial japhy-disappointment . :)

In addition to golf, japhy liked japhs:

• japhy's Obfuscation Review (from 2000)
• 7 Stages of Regex Users by japhy
• Re: $|-- rocks. (Japhy explains where behaviour of --$| is documented)
• Re^5: Homework Golf (35) (japhy shows his knowledge of early Perl history, attributing the x= idiom to L.Wall)
