Can't resist:
- the Schwartzian transform
Obsolete sorting method. Inferior to the Guttman-Rossler Transform.
- the difference between my, our, and local
The number of letters. 'my' and 'local' and two different things - it's like comparing apples and oranges. And 'our' is like an orange, with an apple flavour. Its main purpose is to make Perl scoping even harder to explain.
- CPAN
Like CTAN, but then for Perl stuff. Lots of junk and trinkets, and some nuggets as well.
- closures
Like LISP. Subs that remember the environment they were created in.
- how to parse CGI params
Huh? Over 10 years of web, and we still let each program parse their parameters? Can't the server do that for us?
