in reply to How to use the -T file op as a one-liner

G'day kwolcott,

The documentation for that can be a little difficult to find. It's under "-X functions".

    You guys just made my day: Ken (kcott) answers Ken (kwolcott) ... and both with "cott" in their surnames! :)

      Ken (kcott) answers Ken (kwolcott)

      I too noticed that before parsing the question...
      For a moment I thought kcott was using a pseudonym and talking to himself...

        Ha ha, after spending way too much time recently studying Perl Monks early history, my first reaction was that kwolcott was an alter ego of kcott! ... was this another erzuuli prank? :)

        Update: Just noticed clscott from Ottawa Canada. Another alter ego? Perhaps Ken's brother Clayton? :)

        Update (Feb 2024): Ken's brother David has just joined Perl Monks: dcscott

        Though strictly against site rules today, it was surprisingly common for early Perl Monk developers to use alter egos for testing. The first six meditations (node ids: 484-489), for example, are all owned by Master Aalnan, an alter ego of nate, the guy who wrote the Everything web system.
