Re: Zen and the art of ignoring XP

Ok, I'll be a saint in a couple of months/years and I'm sure I WILL brag about it, but this isn't really important.

Funny thing - every job interview and independent contractor discussion I've had over the past 4 years has, at one point, referenced the fact that I'm a saint on Perlmonks. For whatever reason, it's a good thing to have in your backpocket.

In general, if you think something isn't in Perl, try it out, because it usually is. :-)
