And besides, the fact that you can write Perl code that looks like that
and still functions is more of a feature than anything. Code that is

Hello! :)
I have a script that loads another script with require() and based on
the context, I'd like different things to happen. So, index.php is
calling the required file require.php. And when require.php is run, if
there's no HTTP_REFERER and the file is index.php, everything is OK.
But if

Hello! :)
I have a form with a textarea that contains a template e-mail with
variables in it. I would like to be able to replace those variables
with values. The variables named in the template are actual variables
in my script. This doesn't seem to work:
$newmail = preg_replace("/\$(\w+)/e"

recursive acronym.
