in reply to Natural language of monks.

Well, my natural language (or my mother tounge, if you want) is Classical C, so I had only a medium effort to convert to Perl.

It was my mother pointing me to that redirection the first time I said Hello to the World.

Oh, yes. She gave me many pointers of that type. Some of them didn't have any real value to me and I ended up in Cyberspace. She also passed me some pointers that actually pointed me to areas with no name. She called them anonymous, but they still provided the funkshion she had intended. Those were the days.

Nowadays, she gives me references to the sub, as they say in the US. (That's an underground effort, if you live in the UK.) I'm not always sure what's the name of the sub entry, but it almost always brings me to new places in town. The result is sometimes undefined, but very often it's a true experience to evaluate a negative outcome and realize I just came back to where I started.


Everything went worng, just as foreseen.
