in thread Is garbage collection the end?

Sorry, I'm a nitpicker.
Guess it's my INTP personality.

OO Koan:
if( $forest{trees}[rand]->falls() and not $one->hears() ) {
    /sound/ ? true : false;
}

    Yesh! Very cool. I'm not a very OO kinda guy, but I think this suits the koan nicely. (tangent: I learned a little Japanesse a time ago, and was really struck by how OO that language is. Coincidence? I think you've struck something of-the-essence here, son.)

    I've been thinking and the Kloan should read: "...no one is there to hear it" So:
    if( $forest{trees}rand->falls() and !defined($forest{people}) { $_ =~ /sound/ ? true : false; }

      I'm replying to myself because my post looked so poor. 
      if($forest{trees}rand->falls() 
	and !defined($forest{people})
{
   $_ =~ /sound/ ? true : false;
}
