More from Larry Wall

  1. last|perl -pe '$_ x=/(..:..)...(.*)/&&$1ge$1&&$1lt$2' That's gonna be tough for Randal to beat... :-)
  2. Perl itself is usually pretty good about telling you what you shouldn't do. :-)
  3. Just don't create a file called -rf. :-)
  4. Sorry. My testing organization is either too small, or too large, depending on how you look at it. :-)
  5. I won't mention any names, because I don't want to get sun4's into trouble... :-)

  7. It's there as a sop to former Ada programmers. :-)
  8. We all agree on the necessity of compromise. We just can't agree on when it's necessary to compromise.
