    Val Rayner, ostensibly the author of So You Want To Ride A Camel?, describes the camel as "one of the most useful animals known to humans" and also mentions the perils of traveling in a caravan -- presumably in single file.

    To paraphrase, perl is one of the most useful tools known to humans... Not a Great TruthTM, but I'd be willing to argue it over a beer.
