well, I just thought like the lots and lots of Perl coders/hackers out there, we appreciate some wit. When I started reading Perl Programming I thought to myself, hey!, Larry Wall sounds like a fun guy and Perl doesn't seem like some strange project to make very BIG numbers in Pascal...(grumble grumble). The flippant nature of Perl makes it interesting, and coders don't have to know really obscure Trek trivia to have a good time! (you can hit me for that, if you find me). This isn't a poke at anyone in particular but sometimes "disrespectful levity" is a good thing. Like a piece of cod in the face.
Many thanks.
