The philosopher in me wants

Perl uses to be related with language.A more precise programming language wouldn't leave so much doubts. But it is more difficult to program those. (I guess)

Besides, in human languages: English uses to have one word for 2 different meanings of the verb 'to be':

In latin languages, we have two different translations for the same 'I am' depending on the context...

I am intelligent -- translates in 'Yo soy inteligente' in Spanish

And...

I am furious -- translates in 'Yo estoy furioso'

Do you see? 'soy' vs. 'estoy'

This says that latins had understood that we are different persons when we are conditioned by something, than what we are naturally...

So, someone that has to still for eatting, might not be proud of being a thief.Or he might think of himself as a hero when he once stole to Hitler, for example.

We all make mistakes. I don't believe that there is any profit in doing things wrong.We come here to learn or help, not to show ourselves. Not always, I guess...

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.
