sorry for calling you vroom, I have already changed it.
With die, I was silly; I wanted to use a print, but haven't :-(

As I started with perl, I used it like C, because at that time it was the language I used most often. That helped me to get results very early. Then, as I read some books about perl and some other's people code and wrote several programs, over the years developed my own perl-programming-style.

In my eyes, a way from the already known facts to the new, unknown ones is always best. But about teaching, I should keep my line and do not so many errors ;-)

Btw: congratulations, monk :-)

Best regards,
perl -e "print a|r,p|d=>b|p=>chr 3**2 .7=>t and t"
