in thread conditional self-execution

exactly the same thing in perl

When you misquote me ("something else" instead of what I actually said: "something to that effect"), that sure does seem like it's the case.

__FILE__ is exactly the same thing in perl: a variable, a constant, or something else.

Except that it cannot be interpolated (not unreasonably).

[apotheon]

Thus, it is not "something to that effect", but it is "something else".

"This string varies depending on @{[__FILE__]}."
