I try not to confuse roles and traits in my own life. Being the Perl god is a role. Being a stubborn cuss is a trait.

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

Take Lisp, you know its the most beautiful language in the world -- at least up until Haskell came along.

Symmetry is overrated. Overrated is symmetry.

It is my job in life to travel all roads, so that some may take the road less travelled, and others the road more travelled, and all have a pleasant day.

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.

Unix is like a toll road on which you have to stop every 50 feet to pay another nickel. But hey! You only feel 5 cents poorer each time.
