Google broken? :) It's a play of words. Pressure is measured in Bar. 1 millibar = 1 hectopascal Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

The allusion to the unit of pressure is obvious. What aspect of Graham's code the milliBarr (with two Rs) is meant to refer to is not. The only possible illumination of that point I can find in your response is if you mean to say that Graham's Perl code is considered to be extremely Pascal-like, but it's not clear whether that is your actual intent, or if you're just attempting to educate the OP on the meaning of millibar (with one R).

> The allusion to the unit of pressure is obvious. I can't be sure if "Bar" is common in every country. In a world full of Fahrenheit, Feet and Stones .. > to be extremely Pascal-like, No. For me it's an obvious fun labeling of a coding style. Similar to "Kafkaesque" or "Marx Brotherish". What else needs to be known? Do you think PM should be used to publicly criticize a CPAN author with working modules?

What I (obviously) meant was why exactly was so out-of-the-ordinary about Graham's style that it deserved it's own expression. I probably should have been more explicit but I did not expect some clowns to get all excited when they recognize a simple pun.	[reply]
