in reply to Too Much Perl?

I find myself wanting to write return if ... in C++ fairly often these days. Is that a symptom?

Not Perl, but PerlMonks OD leads me to look for the ++ and -- buttons on other web sites, or sometimes even emails! The fact that other (non-programmer) members of the household have come to use ++ from time to time may be another indication.

    Oh, yeah, I do that all the time — think about how to apply ++ and -- operators, or += (though never -= oddly enough), in all kinds of non-Perl contexts. Another one: I often want to use a while loop and regex (or, alternatively, the little Find box in Firefox) to find something I just read a few pages ago when I'm reading a book.

    print substr("Just another Perl hacker", 0, -2);
