Dude, Wassercrats is brilliant. He's a carefully crafted parody to be the opposite of what all the Saints (I used to have a saint account ... find me if you want) don't like about his coding style (and the coding style of really bad Perl developers), but not so far off to be unbelievable. He flies just far enough over the radar to be seen, but not called out for what he's got going.

If I had to vote, I'd say he's one of the Gods. His posts are too twisted to be real. Let's face it... there is some bad code posted here, but most of us who post alot are at the upper bound of the Perl echelon... He is a rare exception!

An excellent parody. We should keep him around.

Whether he succeeds at his goal of reminding us of what (little) is bad with Perl and Perl coding is questionable -- but at least he's funny. VarStructor! All your base are belong to us!
