I've given up fighting ignorance.

Monks worth paying attention to:

• adrianh for being a humble, experienced and truly multiskilled programmer with clear perceptions of programming techniques, and
• dragonchild for always bringing me the ever so important maintenance programmer's view.

I had my first Perl encounter at the fall of '99. Got sucked right in.

Perl fetisches:

• Regexes
• Language extension
• Messing with the symbol table
• Abusing Perl
• Do things just because I can, not because I need them
