Perl is too blankety-blank easy!by samizdat (Vicar) |

I know, I know, that's the point of a programming language, but Perl goes too @#$%!!!! far.
I powered up my Windows system at work this am, and the first thing I see after logging in is four alert boxes (bonk! bonk! bonk! bonk!) telling me that a whole bunch of ClearCase VOBs are mounted. I recall that, when I'm working from home, I get a monster CC error window because the CC server connection check happens before I can log into work's VPN. Said error window happens after several looooong timeouts, naturally. The point of this rant is a simple one. It's so easy to add features to Perl scripts that it's easy to become obnoxious and pushy and act like your software is the most important thing on the box. Some days it may be, but other days it sure gets in the way! Think twice before putting yourself on Front Street. :D Don Wilde "There's more than one level to any answer."
