..the guy who's work I took over had written a VHDL simulator control script in Perl. I thought I'd just tweak it a bit to add a feature - after all one line shouldn't matter Then it was just one more file - this was Perl 4 Soon I was writing C-parsers and using modules. Then Perl 5 came along and I was hooked. Massive bodies of production code, arcane one liners and training graduates It got to the point that the first thing I'd do at a new site was convince the IT dept. to let me install Perl on whatever machine I touched. Please help me find a 12-step program before I submit a bug-fix (shudder). -- Butlerian Jihad now!
