How on earth could that be a contest? I mean, 'hello world' in PERL is pretty obfuscated...

My point exactly!!!


Arch_user.likes(KISS)
Perl_hacker.prefers(obfuscated_code)
return Perl_hacker.equals(Arch_user)

**false

(That was some weirdass combination of prolog, Python, Java, and the language inside my head)

Just saw a funny quote:

"There's no obfuscated Perl contest because it's pointless" - Jeff Polk (co-creator of CVS)

I agree.

Re: Dumb thread about Perl [split]

Perl is good for you..

Most of perl code including regex is based on the exisiting commands..

ex..  sed /^hello$/...

I have not found a limitation to perl other than running out of ideas..

One thing that is a pain is gett;n used to "use strict;" and installing
modules from scratch...

Re: Dumb thread about Perl [split]

Poor programmers perplex people with purple perl prose.

Some programmers like to make it ugly because they equate ugly programming with job security.

You can make it as translucent as a shell script.

take->that!
