Now this has nothing to do with Perl, but I though I would share this with you. We are trying to debug a problem with our DHCP server, which has the annoying habit of crashing. My Unix admin asked if there were any error messages on the console. I told him "The DHCP server is Ernest Hemingway software - it dies alone and unnoticed."
For someone that had to read several of Hemingway's books while at school - I thought that description was appropriate.
