This is just a simple question, made to provoke thought (so, Meditations seems like a good place) ...

What Perl instructor is assinging finite automata problems ?

and does he know where all of the work is comming from

    I don't usually complain about homew(ork|reck)ers, but i am simply stunned by the number of questions on "finite automata". I would guess people agree by the flaming posts i see in the replies, but i think i am going to take another road, and simply not reply to posts which are on "finite automata", or whatever the homework-of-the-day is. So, rather than flame, i suggest a good olde fasioned -- and no replies. After awhile, i would guess the home work questions (the obvious ones anyway) will go away.
