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.

I still drive my 1977 Honda Accord. The paint is almost all worn off. It's still running.

Save it for my unauthorized autobiography.

You can't have filenames longer than 14 chars. You can't even think about them!
