Yes... a little observed secret that I'll let the monks in on...

The canonical JAPH is:

print "Just another Perl hacker,";

Notice 25 characters, including the comma, and with the first and third words capitalized.

Accept no imitations.

But...but...the ; is unnecessary since it's a one-liner! :-)

The word "canonical" here is being used as its "prototypical" sense. In that sense, the semicolon is essential, by decree. {grin}

Then shouldn't it be {grin;}?
