True greatness is measured by how much freedom you give to others, not by how much you can coerce others to do what you want.

This job of playing God is a little too big for me. Nevertheless, someone has to do it, so I'll try my best to fake it.

Programmers can be lazy.

I want people to use Perl. I want to be a positive ingredient of the world and make my American history. So, whatever it takes to give away my software and get it used, that's great.

A Perl program is correct if it gets the job done before your boss fires you.

And besides, if Perl really takes off in the Windows space, I think the rest of us would just as soon have a double-agent within ActiveState.
