My first Perl code was actually a crude mix with bash around 2000/2001

I was trying to create a bunch of static HTML pages and bash didn't scale very well with the growing project so I started using more and more Perl and shelled out to the existing .sh scripts.

• no strict
• no warnings
• a lot of try and error because I thought it can't be that difficult, if you already know basic, bash and tcl

for instance I remember being stuck by defining sub func() {...} only to find out that Perl doesn't have proper signatures. Empty parens mean an empty prototype forbidding any arguments at compile-time and bang! :/

still far better than bash.
