Boring info:<br>
I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I'm a computer science Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University. I was introduced to Perl as an impressionable youth -- from a simply horrible book on CGI programming -- and have been reforming ever since. It's been a while since I've been a regular here; I haven't really been using Perl as much as I once did.

My poems (newest first):<br>

Chatterbox Quote(s) of Note:
<ul>
<li><[arturo]> security through incompetence... there's a neat idea.
<li><[merlyn]> ALL YOUR NUMBER BASE ARE BELONG TO US
<li><[Petruchio]> I'm sorry, the word "off" already appears in the source code for my home node, which means I've already licensed it. It's protected under my EULA.
<li><[tilly]> The American Kestral is the smallest raptor in North America.
<br><[Falkkin]> actually, i might be smaller, due to compression after hitting that tree at ~200 mph
<br><[Petruchio]> <code>gunzip Falkkin</code>
<br><[Falkkin]> <code>Falkkin: not in gzip format</code>
<br><[Falkkin]> Unfortunately, I'm afraid that hitting a tree at ~200 MPH is not a lossless form of compression.
<br><[Petruchio]> <code>cat < Falkkin</code>
<br><[tye]> <code>Useless use of < at Petruchio, line 1</code>
<li><[jeffa]> mmmm... grape nuts
<br><[notsoevil]> Grape Nuts taste like dirt ..
<br><[jeffa]> not just dirt, dirt that tastes like grape nuts
</ul>

Falkkin's Foo For Thought<br>
<ul>
<li>This one goes out to all the <code>emacs</code> users.
Adding<code>
(setq auto-mode-alist
(append '(("\\.\\([pP][Llm]\\|al\\)$" . cperl-mode)) auto-mode-alist ))
</code>
to your <code>.emacs</code> file will run emacs in <codE>cperl-mode</code> for <code>*.pl</code>, <code>*.pm</code>, and <code>*.al</code> files, hence making your life as a perl programmer much easier.

[id://62461|The shortest Perl Quine].<br>
This quine is almost Zen-like in its simplicity. This quine is everywhere, yet nowhere; unavoidable, yet undetectable. Ponder it, understand it, and enjoy it.
