in reply to OpenMind

Ok, it's kinda tacky to reply about syntax for a pome, but ... doesn't || have higher precedence, so you'll always die ("trying")? Might make more sense if you use "or" instead of ||.

Of course, this could be a deep, cynical kind of pome. :grin:

    I like the cynical pome theory (and the pome :), the theory implies the poem speaks on two levels:

    1. The bitter experience of the wary and hardened code-warrior.
    2. The less clueful code-warrior who would see it as a battle-cry.

    I have tested this using perl -de0 and I find no difference juxtaposing || and "or" in this situation. Am I doing something wrong?

    My only misgiving is the poem has a file "mind" and it is readable NOT writeable as perhaps an open mind should be. ;)
