my advice: please seek professional help.
Though I will admit, amongst the few Perl-capable folks I work for, usage of s/foo/bar/g in IM is pretty common shorthand. Such as when decoding manager-speak: s/fire-drill/cluster****/g or s/manage-expectations/admit-we-are-screwed/g

This seems to go beyond Perl or Unix, I've seen s/typpo/correction/ on IRC, chatrooms and other places, though only done by technoids.

Slightly related, one day I'll perfect my sig below and write the 'package brain' module, so we can all ...
use brain;
+++++++++++++++++
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;use strict;use brain;

C:\>perl -Mbrain
Can't locate brain.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ...).
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

As opposed to what? Sense::Uncommon? Sense::Non?

Yes. For that matter, Sense::Sixth, Sense::Smell. :: should be used for heighercial relationships, with the least specific part leftmost.

Didn't you read the disclaimer when you installed Perl? Any "Perl-train-of-thought" lasting more than 4 hours, requires immediate medical attention. Help me nurse, for god's sake help me :-).
I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

I'm guessing some of our non-US friends have not seen the TV commercial you are talking about, else the "4-hour" joke should have a reputation of about 500 by now. LMAO.

I'm guessing that might not be limited only to non-US
friends. I live in Ohio, and I haven't seen a TV
commercial in years. TV is too boring to be worth
my time. (Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm in the
middle of a Bruce Schneier book and am also still
in the process of digesting A12 and someday intend
to get back to that Hofstadter book I've almost
finished, and I really ought to upload an update
to my
module one of these days...)

Frankly, son, you'd better try and control it. People will think you are a weirdo. When I was a kid I scribbled around in pseudo assembler, even in the letters I wrote to girls (so were the Dark Ages of assembly programming) . Guess what, I never had much of a success. Try and go out more, Perl is a beautiful creature, but life is something different and I'd daresay quite better.

Well, I was slightly exagerating :). The only people who wind up with letters written in Perl are my best friend, and that's because it amuses him :). He has this idea that perl is difficult, so he's impressed with any small code that I can spit out :).
