I need to learn. It is a need, not a desire, without it, my brain simply lashes out in unkind ways.

Perl is fun to learn, partly because of TIMTOWTDI, partly because we have perl monks here to ask lots of silly questions about weird stuff that we never plan on using, just want to know.

Truly and honestly, is darned addictive! Should come with a warning label!

Other languages? Can't do all the same fun stuff with FORTRAN as you can with perl.

TV - C'mon, really?
