I haven't slept for a very long time, and usually when I find myself at this state I give Google and Wikipedia a hell of a lot of strange words to entertain myself.

Today I Googled for "emulator written in perl", hit "I'm feeling lucky", and was then redirected to nothing less than a Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator written in Perl... And it works.

I'm sitting with the biggest "WTF?!" expression on my face, 'cause A. I didn't think it was possible and B. I've NEVER heard of the program here at PerlMonks.

What's going on here? Am I very slow or something? Am I asleep and dreaming this?

(here is the link: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/perl-spectrum/ )

P.S. Sorry if I posted this the wrong place. Didn't know where else.
