Then how do they keep all those variables that you have to declare in Cobol
(you can't just use a variable in a print out, if you want to suppress zeros
and stuff like that). I could never keep all those
variables like "WS-WAGES-MY-LEFT-HINEY-SUBTOTAL" straight in my Cobol class
last semester. And yes, they are still teaching Cobol here in Alabama. I got
a B.
Thank goodness (and Larry Wall) for Perl!

PS I guess that Ice Kobolds programmed in SNOBAL, others spoke with a LISP,
and all of us were playing an RPG, looking for Perls and other treasure,
skipping school and getting C's in class(es)....
How's that for programming language alliteration?
