There's many scripting languages in the world, Perl is a little bit special because it is based more on some ideas from the way natural languages work.

I'm sorry, but you just made me lose my sense of humor, which is deeply regrettable.

Many days I don't write any code at all, and some days I spend all day writing code.

There is, however, a strange, musty smell in the air that reminds me of something...hmm...yes...I've got it...there's a VMS nearby, or I'm a Blit.

And I don't like doing silly things (except on purpose).

Although the Perl Slogan is There's More Than One Way to Do It, I hesitate to make 10 ways to do something.

I'm a great believer in visual distinctions.
