Computer languages differ not so much in what they make possible, but in what they make easy.

Perl is designed to give you several ways to do anything, so consider picking the most readable one.

A lazy person will try to always find some way to do something; they'll always be looking for ways of doing something faster, more efficiently, and if you really want to control the world, that's a really sort of hubristic notion - excessive pride, the thing that Zeus zaps you for having.

All language designers are arrogant. Goes with the territory.

Down that path lies madness. On the other hand, the road to hell is paved with melting snowballs.

This does not mean that some of us should not want, in a rather dispassionate sort of way, to put a bullet through csh's head.

In general, they do what you want, unless you want consistency.
