in thread the sad reality of perl

People will be doing that forever.

Using Python for Perl, using XXX+ for C, using I_dont_know_what_im_doing for I_never_knew_what_i_was_doing.

Currently, Python is the de-facto "school" language (as far as I can tell) for "Computer Science" folk. It happens. Languages change.

What upsets me mostly is that there are "instructors" and "educators" out there through "colleges" charging exorbitant amounts of money who claim the staff know what they're doing, sinking people into debt with no real edumication.

Point is, don't use snips of anything online for anything useful without knowing what they are:

    Just another Perl hooker - My clients appreciate that I keep my code clean but my comments dirty.
