Interesting opinions people have these days (that made sense, right?)

Some comments got me thinking about how Perl lets you write code. It is not like python, where you are forced to indent to try and make your code readable. It is not like Java that forces OO programming. (Those two examples taken from a comment on /.) It gives you the tools you can use, but places no restrictions on how to use them.

I think :\

I'm so adjective, I verb nouns!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
