Programmer, best known as the creator of the Perl programming language.
There ain't nothin' in this world that's worth being a snot over.
Part of language design is perturbing the proposed feature in various directions to see how it might generalize in the future.
You tell it that it's indicative by appending $!. That's why we made $! such a short variable name, after all. :-)
In Clintonese, that would be 'You are free to infer that I was saying that.' :-)
There is, however, a strange, musty smell in the air that reminds me of something...hmm...yes...I've got it...there's a VMS nearby, or I'm a Blit.

Wow, I'm being shot at from both sides. That means I *must* be right. :-)

I suppose you could switch grammars once you've seen 'use strict subs'. :-)
/* This bit of chicanery makes a unary function followed by a parenthesis into a function with one argument, highest precedence. */
And besides, if Perl really takes off in the Windows space, I think the rest of us would just as soon have a double-agent within ActiveState. :-)
I surely do hope that's a syntax error.
I wouldn't ever write the full sentence myself, but then, I never use goto either.
I note that the Python folks still think they like JPython. I wonder how long that will last?
