Re: Help to have real Perl's advantage

So sorry not to be real Perl's core

Our response to this fascinating debut post (which admittedly may have wandered off on a slight tangent ;-) is incomplete without at least trying to understand the (perhaps profound) meaning behind this unconventional opening line.

What did our unorthodox anonymonk mean by "real Perl's core"? And why feel sorry not to be it? Is there a subtle implication that the OP is a fake Perl core?

As for what was meant by real Perl core, this is all I could think of:

Cor—An object system for the Perl core by Ovid
Perl::Core
corelist
CORE
What is the Perl Core? (perl.com article)

Alternative interpretations welcome.

Update: Just noticed the post title Help to have real Perl's advantage also features the word "real" -- does it mean "genuine" or "occurring in fact; not imagined or supposed"?

Cor—An object system for the Perl core by Ovid Note that this has since had a name change and is now known as Corinna. Perl::Core This has not yet had a name change but it really should. 🦛	[reply]

> trying to understand the (perhaps profound) meaning OK. Let's give it a try ... So sorry not to be real Perl's core Sorry, if this is OT / not a mainstream approach bur really need thing on Perl working in tandem But I really need Perl to work in combination with my other tools after long research, observation and analysis, after long research, observation and analysis, also just found, read then concluded from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29809642 and thorough investigation of discussions like Ask HN:Why is Perl so dwarfed in data science by Python? IMHO it's urgent to have Perl working cooperatively side by side Julia smoothly IMHO it's imperative to build a Perl-Julia something° so how to set up to perfectly obtain so ? So what's the best way to achieve this? ... does it seem plausible? :) Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery} °) `(qw(bridge cross-compiler deep-integration whatever))(int rand 4)`	[reply] [d/l]

Brilliant!! You have a special gift. :) A few years back my boss ordered our whole team to read and understand Start with Why by Simon Sinek ... or, at the very least, watch his Ted talk. For me, your genius interpretation notwithstanding, the key thing missing from our anonymonk's eccentric question is the why.	[reply]
