...i think it works for write, too, consult the camel.)

I can't but wonder *why* do monks give such costly advice. The answer *is* ALWAYS, consult perldoc (or perlman, whatever you like to call it ... perlfunc,perlvar,perlio... one of those)

    The Camel is a much more effective and satisfying LART than a hard drive, a monitor, or the full-sized server. Hey, if I've spent five minutes reeducating the guy, I don't want him to lose it with a concussion!

    it's a visceral thing for me. when i need to look something up quickly, i turn to books before i search online docs. every time. i like the feel of paper.

    i also prefer the index as search tool. maybe if there were good indexes online, not tables of contents and search tools, i'd look online more.

    i always travel with the camel. my copy is pretty beaten up, as it's seen thirty states in the past year alone. i suppose you could call it my perl security blanket :)
