in thread A Macro System for Perl?

Calling something worthless because you are unwilling/unable to take a peak under the hood to accomdate the author's laziness/lack of foresight is tantamount to calling a box of toothpicks without directions useless.

    s/box of toothpicks/box of gears and springs/. Sure, there's a fully-functional clock in there somewhere, but I'm not going to find it. Seriously, though, glancing at the source for a couple of seconds makes me think it will behave like CPP for simple things, with '#' replaced by '#%'. My favorite thing, though, was the TODO file, which I quote in its entirety:
    
    * #if
    
    
    
    
      Toothpicks was a Douglas Adams reference ;-) Wonko The Sane.
