Crap, I think I just accidentally programmed a web browser in Perl
It would be cool if it didn't suck.
"...zztop-wants-a-perl-necklace dept."
i do not think that means what you think it means.
About the same time they get around to supporting XHTML and CSS.

Perl is made great by its ability to provoke raging flame wars over ephemeral points:
It's "perl", you strongly-typed, weak-minded illiterate; not "PERL". Everyone knows that as of Sep. 17, 1999, the perl community decided arbitrarily (and overnight) that it isn't an acronym anymore.
Ok, folks; choose your topic:
a) Is it called GNU/Linux or Linux?
b) Emacs vs Vi
c) "Ok" goes on the left, "Cancel" goes on the right.
d) Security is based on market share - NO! Apache is more secure despite bla bla bla!
e) 45 RPM LPs sound better than reel-to-reel!
It would be cool if it didn't suck.
Acronymn or not, are you trying to say I can't yell it?
PERL! PERL! PERL! ATTICA! ATTICA!
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
I'm going to have to rewrite my sig.
perl -e '$_="\007/4`\cp%2,".chr(127);s/./"\"\\c$&\""/gees

Generally, bash is superior to python in those environments where python is not installed.
No. Much like I have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow I have faith in my fellow /. posters to take this discussion off target.
We both forgot to mention Macs though. Suprising, since there are literally thousands of people using them these days :)
I'm studing seriously the posibility of tackling a whorty coding proyect, the rewriting of the entire LINUX kernel on a languaje very much but not unlike C and was considering doing it in C-INTERCAL but after seing things like this http://ozonehouse.com/mark/blog/code/PeriodicTable .html , I changed my mind and will use PERL 6 instead.
And I have prayed unto You, O Lord U**X in the time of the Will of Linux.
Lawn chairs are fine, but in actual fact, kitchen sinks are more useful.
... so when I need a webserver, I just
/dev/urandom | perl
$ cat
It usually works in 3 tries or less.
HAND.
And once you get used to RUBY, you'll never go BACK to PERL. You'll ALSO stop spelling random words that aren't acronyms all in caps, like Perl, Ruby, Java and Unix.
