Perl isn't the only language to start array indexes at 0. But then BASIC has/had option base.

I have to agree with antirice, where do you find the time or energy to come up with this stuff? However, I have to say some of it is entertaining. It's just makes me wish there were levels for negative XP. -1 to -10 = dumb, for starters, but then where do you go from there?

I look froward to your next edition of Perl::...what was it called?
