More from Larry Wall

  1. : But for some things, Perl just isn't the optimal choice. (yet) :-)
  2. If you write something wrong enough, I'll be glad to make up a new witticism just for you.
  3. Odd that we think definitions are definitive. :-)
  4. So far we've managed to avoid turning Perl into APL. :-)
  5. As usual, I'm overstating the case to knock a few neurons loose, but the truth is usually somewhere in the muddle, uh, middle.
  6. Not that I have anything much against redundancy. But I said that already.
  7. If someone stinks, view it as a reason to help them, not a reason to avoid them.
  8. They can always run stderr through uniq. :-)
