What aspect of Graham's code the milliBarr (with two Rs) is meant to refer to is not.

The only possible illumination of that point I can find in your response is if you mean to say that Graham's Perl code is considered to be extremely Pascal-like, but it's not clear whether that is your actual intent, or if you're just attempting to educate the OP on the meaning of millibar (with one R).

> The allusion to the unit of pressure is obvious.

I can't be sure if "Bar" is common in every country. In a world full of Fahrenheit, Feet and Stones ..

> to be extremely Pascal-like,

No. For me it's an obvious fun labeling of a coding style.

Similar to "Kafkaesque" or "Marx Brotherish".

What else needs to be known?

Do you think PM should be used to publicly criticize a CPAN author with working modules?

Lanxism?

«The Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostrophe»

perl -MCrypt::CBC -E 'say Crypt::CBC->new(-key=>'kgb',-cipher=>"Blowfish")->decrypt_hex($ENV{KARL});'Help

There's still the open question of what makes the coding style distinctive, so that one might know when it's appropriate to apply the label to code not written by Graham himself and/or how to identify code which the label doesn't apply to, even though it was written by Graham.

Where do you see any criticism of, well, anyone in the opening post of this thread? All I see there is "Hey, guys, I ran across a brief reference to an obscure inside joke. Can someone explain it?"

What I (obviously) meant was why exactly was so out-of-the-ordinary about Graham's style that it deserved it's own expression.

I probably should have been more explicit but I did not expect some clowns to get all excited when they recognize a simple pun.
