in thread What is it about perl that makes perl so cool?
I have to disagree, there are so many ways of skinning a cat with perl, it is not always a disaster to forget the syantax of a keyword. How many map calls could be replaced with for and push? I imagine all of them.
However, you are quite right, it would be impossible to "fully exploit" the language. But do any of us do that now, with all the docs to hand?
