Larry's da man! (Please don't ++ me if you run across this node, since this is such a blatant request for ++. I'd rather my points come from real posts.)

We wouldn't be perl monks w/o Larry, of course. But a lot of us wouldn't be perl monks w/o you either. I still go back to old WT columns if I remember that you had a solution that rocked.

In the spirit of the original post that sparked this thread, the world of art benefited greatly by the works of Michelangelo and DaVinci. Some of the derivative masters that came about afterwards don't hold as high a respect in my book, but that's a personal taste. Well, you may not be Michelangelo or DaVinci, but even after my diatribe :) I would like to take this opportunity to say that I wouldn't be the perl programmer I am today if I hadn't had some of the lessons I learned from you.

Thankfully this node is pretty far down, and I've already requested no ++, that this can actually stand as a genuine thanks rather than some contrived bit of reverence. I've already said my piece about that earlier in this thread as well.

ALL HAIL BRAK!!!
