Re: Perl Editor for Windows

These yung'uns today have it easy.

Why, in my day, we had to write Perl scripts with COPY CON. And we didn't have no namby-pamby interpreter. No, we had to hand translate the source onto punch tape and feed it manually though the 15-1/2" morse code telegraph drive at 78RPM.

EDLIN, now there was an editor. A lean, mean, coding machine.

Ha! That's nothing... When I was a lad, it was all done with a screwdriver, some left over wire and a healthy respect for a charged valve.	[reply]

Ha! Thats nothing... When I were a lad we were still looking for someone who could build a difference engine! Ah, those were the days! Computers with cogs and still running faster than anything abused by win2k ;)	[reply]
