That's nice and dandy, but please don't publish the products of your
"one-liners turned into scripts" here without cleaning them up first, because
there are beginners on this mailing list who need to learn good practices from
the code and posts here, and code such as yours encourages bad practices.
People may also find code like that by web search which will further set back
the pedagogic level.
You've also wasted my time in me having to comment on your post, and yours in
having to comment on my response to yours.<sigh />
Pedagogy has it's place, but beginners also need to see that:
1. Easy things can be easy in Perl.
2. Perl provides more TIMTOWDI than most other computer programming
languages; this is a design feature.
Rheotorical question -- which program would you rather write?
1. 1,000 lines of assembly.
2. 100 lines of C.
3. 10 lines of Java.
4. 1 line of Perl.
