in thread Better than duct tape?

Perchance you are thinking of Larry Wall's "When's the last time you used duct tape on a duct" quote? This appeared in his Perl, the first postmodern computer language talk.

I know there are prior references, but I can't find them either. I was sure there were some in the man pages, but that's not so for Perls between 5.005_03 and 5.8.0

    I was rather amused when I actually used duct tape on a duct a few months ago. I was installing a sink in the laundry room, and had to fix the dryer vent hose.

    The time before that was when building a cooling manifold for my PC.
