    They can do a lot more with only a little more effort.

    Simple extensions for C and a couple of little libraries for bash
    and you are there.

    Perl is like the GUI: It makes simple things easy and hard things impossibly
    hard and limits your choices.

    Beware of yuppies bearing gifts.

    I hope your *** is stiffer than perl's.
