in reply to Larry Wall Talks Perl, Culture, and Community

This is better, (direct, all in one (print view)) link to the "actual story". 26 mostly one-line questions, answered with, one or two sentence answers (nothing new or particularly interesting) by a (reading between the lines), somewhat skeptical or bored LW.

If you turn off images and JS before following that link, it loads at a reasonable speed, won't force you to suffer the 2MB of download to read 5k of story, and you can read all 26 Q&As on one page rather than 6!

    Thank you for trying. Unfortunately, your link didn't work for me (and I had javascript disabled), it just lead to the "first page", took forever to load, and then I went to "print this" after that. I hope it will work for some others. Once at the "print this" version, the URL was the same as the one you gave, so I'm uncertain what enabled the redirection.

    BTW, I think the article had "signals" when Larry said "sigils".

    Worked for me with JS enabled on broadband, opened in about 10seconds.
