I spend all night hanging out in #linux on my network. This means we have a few programmers hanging around. We have a smalltalk/perl/c guy, a java/perl guy, a c/bash/sed guy, and me, the resident perl zealot. Its a lot of fun to watch all of our individual "coding processes" because its kind of different per person because of what they use. Note, this is not a troll. I'm not bashing anybody's favorite language. I'm just making an observation and relating an experience I thought was fun to watch.

                       
#!/usr/bin/perl
 
while (my $friends and $neighbours) {
  use C;
  $i -> warn
    "#0  0x4053bfd7 in malloc () from /lib/libc.so.6\n".
    "#1  0x4053d415 in calloc () from /lib/libc.so.6\n".
    "#2  0x404aa45f in g_malloc0 () from /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0\n";
  $friends -> segfault(frequency => 'repeatedly');
  $neighbours -> bang( appendage => 'head',
                       target => 'wall',
                       frequency => 'repeatedly');
  $i -> chuckle && $i -> code (duration => 'all night long');
}

use perl || segfault;
