: But for some things, Perl just isn't the optimal choice. (yet) :-)

More from Larry Wall

  1. Odd that we think definitions are definitive. :-)
  2. I don't like this official/unofficial distinction. It sound, er, officious.
  3. As usual, I'm overstating the case to knock a few neurons loose, but the truth is usually somewhere in the muddle, uh, middle.
  4. If you write something wrong enough, I'll be glad to make up a new witticism just for you.
  5. If someone stinks, view it as a reason to help them, not a reason to avoid them.
  6. So far we've managed to avoid turning Perl into APL. :-)
  7. The whole history of computers is rampant with cheerleading at best and bigotry at worst.
  8. Not that I have anything much against redundancy. But I said that already.
