in reply to Question on DeFoy's range operator example

Presumably you mean brian d foy? Where did you come up with that spelling?

I have thought for 15 years or more that it's a silly affectation, but it's his name and his choice, and every book, every article on the blog you quoted, every conference announcement and, yes, post in this monastery, has carried that rendition for that long or more. It seems a bit disrespectful, or, at least, inattentive, to come up with your own version of it.

(FWIW the blog post you asked about shows commands with single and double quotes and with and without the backslash...)

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    My bad. Had a few beers that afternoon, as I recall. :)

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest Vicar";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

      I wouldn't be too worried about it.
      Just because Brian can't spell his own name correctly is no reason that everyone else should perpetuate the error ;-)

      Cheers,
