More from Larry Wall

  1. If you write something wrong enough, I'll be glad to make up a new witticism just for you.
  2. Not that I have anything much against redundancy. But I said that already.
  3. I don't like this official/unofficial distinction. It sound, er, officious.
  4. They can always run stderr through uniq. :-)
  5. : But for some things, Perl just isn't the optimal choice. (yet) :-)
  6. I'd put my money where my mouth is, but my mouth keeps moving.
  7. Odd that we think definitions are definitive. :-)
  8. Of course, I reserve the right to make wholly stupid changes to Perl if I think they improve the language. :-)
