More from Larry Wall

  1. I've always maintained a cordial dislike for indent, because it's usually right.
  2. The way I see it, if you declare something portable, you'll always be wrong, and if you declare it non-portable, you'll always be right. :-)
  3. I don't believe I've ever cuddled my elses.
  4. Perhaps you should compile your Perl with long doubles one of these megaseconds.
  5. There's often more than one correct thing. There's often more than one right thing. There's often more than one obvious thing.
  6. : Why Bible quotes exclusively? What happened to the Eastern religions?<BR> I'm still working on the Unicode mods.
  7. : I could understand principles of Perl source in 2-3 days [. . .] Gee, it took me about eleven years. :-)
  8. Maybe we should take a clue from FTP and put in an option like 'print hash marks on every 1024 iterations'. :-)
