For Sale: 1 Damian Conway, 1 Dan Sugalski
Kurt writes "Yet Another Society, through its newly formed Perl Foundation, is launching yet another fund drive to help support the Perl community. This year we will be supporting Damian Conway and Dan Sugalski. Damian will continue to work on a variety of Perl 5 modules and the design of Perl 6. Dan will continue his work on the implementation of Perl 6. More details are available at the Perl Foundation web site. Contributions are tax deductible, so donate today!" Many people will remember when we did this last year. I think it's been a roaring success. So go donate!
Do they cook? Clean?
How much will feeding them / boarding them cost?
How much for a PERL necklace?

...we've already bought a Damian Conway. We're not interested in whatever cheap imitation you're trying to foist on us.
Liberty uber alles.
I wonder if you could see them on Ebay? Maybe try selling of shares or something like that... probably againt their rules. I bet you'd get lots of visibility that way though.
A few questions:
Are they housetrained? If I buy both of them do I have to keep them in seperate cages or can I let them play together? Is there any sort of special diet I need to be aware of? (I'm not sure if the dollar store is still selling six packs of Jolt and I'm morally against "extreme" doritos)
Are these guys working on Perl.NET? Do I have to have a Passport account to donate?
Order today, and we'll include a Randal Schwartz at no additional cost!!!
This sig intentionally left justified.
I ordered a Tim Conway awhile back because he was on clearance. The first sales rep didn't even know they still had one around. Well, they sent me a Damian Conway instead. I couldn't get him to do the "Dorf" bit, and he wouldn't wear stupid clothes or talk like a Norwegian at all. I tried to return him, but they wouldn't take him back because when I opened the box, I automatically agreed to their EULA which was inside.
Finally, after several weeks of complaining they let me ship him back for an exchage. Except they accidentally sent me Conway Twitty this time. Actually I'm not so sure it was an accident. Anyway, Conway Twitty happily does a norwegian accent so I'm fairly satisfied. Except he keeps trying to seduce my grandma...

It's the "greater than equal less than" comparison operator, like from the Schwartzian Transform or some such:
sort { $a->[1] <=> $b->[1] } map { [$_, -s] } @array;
The Jargon File has a good definition. I've also seen people use the term for something like this:
while (<>) { print };
That looks more like the goatse operator to me, though.
