How do I find the largest element in an array?
Write a foreach loop to scan the elements one at a time, and stop when you get to the largest one.

Or two passengers on a bus:

Passenger 1: I'm trying to get to 4th and main, could you tell me how to get there?
Passenger 2: Sure, just get off two stops before I do.

I think I could make use of this one as well:

I tried getpeername and it gave me some weird error message.
If you got `some weird error' the problem is with your frobobnitz.

Good stuff =D.

I thought I remembered reading somewhere here that abigail once returned the question of 'how do I get tomorrow's date' with the answer


        sub tomorrow_date {
          sleep 86_400; 
          return localtime();
        }



or perhaps I am just mistaken...

abigail is on the list of contributors, and Dominus is the author, if I understood it correctly.

I don't get it.

I suppose someone could have a peer named "error" and that would confuse people. I wonder if I name my kid NULL if that would crash databases and he'd never get junk mail?
