and author
, most widely known for his creation of the Perl
programming language
in 1987.
Wall earned his bachelor's degree
from Seattle Pacific University
in 1976.
While in graduate school
at UC Berkeley, Wall and his wife were studying linguistics
with the intention afterwards of finding an unwritten language, perhaps in Africa
, and creating a writing system
for it. They would then use this new writing system to translate various texts into the language, among them the Bible
.
And don't tell me there isn't one bit of difference between null and space, because that's exactly how much difference there is. :-)
Because . doesn't match \n. &91;\0-\377&93; is the most efficient way to match everything currently. Maybe \e should match everything. And \E would of course match nothing. :-)
Besides, REAL computers have a rename() system call. :-)
Chip Salzenberg sent me a complete patch to add System V IPC (msg, sem and shm calls), so I added them. If that bothers you, you can always undefine them in config.sh. :-)
I don't know if it's what you want, but it's what you get. :-)
I dunno, I dream in Perl sometimes...
(To Daniel J. Bernstein|someone at New York University) If you consistently take an antagonistic approach, however, people are going to start thinking you're from New York. :-)
If you want to program in C, program in C. It's a nice language. I use it occasionally... :-)
I know it's weird, but it does make it easier to write poetry in perl. :-)
