in reply to Perl's taking over my life. . . .

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.

    Heresy! That's heresy I tell you! ;-)

    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 :).
