Call For Grant Proposals In Perl Development

Posted by kdawson on from the sand-in-the-oyster dept.

On Elpeleg writes "The Perl Foundation is giving out grants for Perl development ranging from $500 to $3,000 in February 2009. You neither need to have a large, complex, or lengthy project nor be a Perl master or guru. You are encouraged to submit a proposal if you have a good idea and the means and ability to accomplish your Perl project. The deadline for proposal submissions is January 31, 2009."

    Six figure salaries for a programmer is a sign of doom for the language. Nobody else is willing to do your job because the rest of the world has moved on. If only I could have my days as a $35/hr. VB 6.0 programmer back.

    It boggles the mind that I have to go through this nonsense to store an array in an array. Guess what I have to do in order to store an array in an array in ruby...

    Would it be something like this?

    ruby -e '

    foo=Array.new
    foo[1]=Array.new
    foo[1][2] = 3 '

    or rather, guess what I don't have to do in order to store an array in an array in ruby

    Something like this?

    perl -e '$foo[1][2] = 3'

    Perhaps it would help if you said which nonsense, specifically, struck you as being onerous?
