    Hmm, I guess that's true, but the thing is that Perl went all the way from old skool to post-modern in one fell swoop, missing out that whole modern thing. Modern is so 20th Century.

    And what's wrong with a few unneeded modules anyway? Ever heard of programming for fun, hmm? If it had not been for frivolous code, we might never have had Acme::MetaSyntactic. What a catastrophe that would have been. 

    $h=$ENV{HOME};my@q=split/\n\n/,`cat $h/.quotes`;$s="$h/."
."signature";$t=`cat $s`;print$t,"\n",$q[rand($#q)],"\n";
