RE: This, too, was wasted on my wife.

I like one liners: print chr($a += $_) foreach qw (74 43 -2 1 -84 65 13 1 5 -12 -3 13 -82 80 -11 13 -6 -76 72 -7 2 8 -6 13); Your wife must be pretty picky -- I liked this one.

THAT is pretty slick. I'm ass-u-me-ing that the "foreach" construct is treated kinda-sorta like a function? BTW, my wife thinks that these are the "geekiest" things she's seen me do.	[reply]

actually, the "foreach" in the one-liner above is treated as more like my personal fav'rit use of "if", i.e. `print $line if $line =~ /Perl/;` [download] e.g. "do this IF that"; similarly, the "foreach" says "do this for each of these." It's with constructs like these that you can tell Perl was designed by a linguist =)	[reply] [d/l]
