in thread Is there an easier way to find and install modules on Linux?

Oh you are talking about SymbolSwearing?

Took me a while, other cultures have less problems with the Seven_Dirty_Words.

But under the assumption that they shouldn't be used as identifiers in source code, they'd form excellent free replacements for punctuation (well at least the one-syllable ones).

That would prevent name space pollution!

In other words: say

  • "s#!t"¹ => $

    but

  • "dollar" => dollar

    such that

  • "s#!t dollar" => $dollar

and so on.

so @{ $job->( "name" ) }

would be something like

cock² tits shit job piss darn name darn fuck cunt @ { $ job ( " name " ) }

Please note: In Perl's good old mnemonic style, I tried to use "natural" pairs like "(piss-fuck)" and "{tits-cunt}"...

BUT I'm not confident about the encoding, cause I'm no native swearer! :-(

Could you please help me?

    Not a bad first-effort, but everyone knows that "tits" shouldn't be on the list because they're a snack. :)

    It helps to remember that the primary goal is to drain the swamp even when you are hip-deep in alligators.
