Must be a different Larry Wall. There are at least 137 of us in the U.S.

The problems that I really like to solve are our cultural problems.

[Perl] gives you the STDERR filehandle so that your program can make snide comments off to the side while it transforms (or attempts to transform) your input into your output.

What you'll need most is courage. It is not an easy path that you've set your foot upon.

Perl doesn't have an infatuation with enforced privacy. It would prefer that you stayed out of its living room because you weren't invited, not because it has a shotgun

The random quantum fluctuations of my brain are historical accidents that happen to have decided that the concepts of dynamic scoping and lexical scoping are orthogonal and should remain that way.

The problem with being consistent is that there are lots of ways to be consistent, and they're all inconsistent with each other.
