Howdy Monks,

I've been hard at work, tracking down all the different kinds of magic in Perl 5, and figuring out how I can disable said magic so that our RPerl compiler can make low-magic Perl 5 code run as fast as C. (Yes chromatic, AS FAST AS C.)

I'm proud to announce the launch of The Official RPerl.org Website, which now includes:

RPerl Frequently Asked Questions

RPerl Performance Benchmarks

The Book Of RPerl

The Low-Magic Perl Commandments

For your convenience, I've included a copy of The Low-Magic Perl Commandments below.

Brownie points go to any Monks who can find even the tiniest bits of Perl 5 magic missing from this list compiled by bulk88, rurban, mst, and yours truly!

HTAAOF Brothers,

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
