Re: $50 towards a laptop for the winner

"If we can get something like this going at the highest levels"

"Perl inteligensia lock themselves in a dark, smokey room - not being allowed to leave until they generate a minimalfunperlish "spec" for OOP Perl."

Again have you run this past whoever it is you consider "inteligensia", or the perl core team?

"as simple as possible, but no simpler"

if something is as simple as it is possible to be, how could it be simpler?

That's a reference to a saying attributed to Einstein: Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon stuffed with 16,000 zombies.	[reply]

Most Einsteins only said less than 10 percent of the quotations attributed to them... Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

LOL, which is why I offered not attribution. I corrected it to be not simpler, but when I write that I usually do it as originally posted. I can see the confusions if you read it a certain way.	[reply]
