Good or bad - beginners need to see it. I am
"grown-up" enough to take the flames for my
actions (and so far there have been many.)
I am not going to have a debate about who is
grown up enough to handle what truths people
should be exposed to (this goes back to the
Matt's Script Achieves debates of the late
90's)
I was told by others this isn't appropriate so,
after two attempts at "meaningful" debate I
will refrain from posting.
There has to be a happy middle ground
between (with apologies to Abigail)
Larry Wall's statement -
"Do we need 10 ways to do things?"
_My_thoughts_
package Too_Many_Ways;
sub print {($_=$_[0])=~ s/_/ /g;
print } sub __PACKAGE__ { &
print ( __PACKAGE__)} &
__PACKAGE__
( );
print "\n\nAnd ..."
. "\ncreating Perl Borg..."
. "\n";
__END__
If I have truly offended people I apologize,
I didn't post to start fights.
BTW - I am enjoying the Perl Medic;
"Transforming Legacy Code."
