    ...same here. And so far, I've survived &mdash maybe due to a good testing framework :)

    For me, cooking is kinda like programming in Perl. I use my imagination and experience to choose appropriate ingredients, and make an educated guess at how to combine them. Then I optimise a little until I end up with something that pleases my taste. Just like in Perl, there's always enough room for variation, so it never gets boring...

      I use the same method here.

      I must tell everyone though of my newest discovery...... the Scanpan. which comes from Denmark ( SCANdanavian PAN ?). Anyways, it is a space age titanium-ceramic non-stick cookware, that is fantastic. Deals can be had at amazon.com or ebay.

      I can't tell you how tasty the onion-egg-cheese omlets are, when cooked in one.

      Continuing the analogy, I hope Perl6 is to Perl5, as Scanpan is to Teflon.
