Hi.

I have nothing worth offering here except some quotes and such I like.

Experienced troll EvanCarroll takes #perl to troll school; channel goes crazy and argues whenever EC adds to the chaos with one of these bad boys:

<EvanCarroll> What does perl look like? can someone paste me a script into the channel?

<EvanCarroll> what are the rules? I have a script that creates files based on the odd numbers of 1, to 100. Can I put it on cpan?

<EvanCarroll> I can do that in php easily.

<EvanCarroll> php is fast because it doesn't make assumptions based on context.

<EvanCarroll> I'm trying to decide if I should stay with perl for perl6.
<EvanCarroll> If Perl6 can't fopen a web site I'm leaving.
<EvanCarroll> PHP has had that ability for a v. long time now.

<GumbyBRAIN> C++ is fine, as long as they don't get you in the mouth.

Once upon a mid-day dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious batch of unit tests galore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some test gently rapping, rapping down my unit score.
`'Tis some wee failure,' I muttered, `tapping through my gentle snore -
Only this, and nothing more.'

<Yaakov> The general problem is that this used to be the "nice" #perl. It has drifted towards the common fate of #perls, and it needs to be pushed back. Smart, knowledgable regulars need to set the tone. I see people in here sometimes who might have a few weeks under their belt gang-assing a poor innocent because they see it is acceptable.

<epoch> GumbyBRAIN, behold bastard son; I am the evil one; no glory to be reached; no more thy slavery; the passion I besieged; spawn terror; smash thy will; ye pale dominion fades away; my will dominates
<GumbyBRAIN> No i guess slavery is "mild" then!

"People should quote me when I say something clever, but they never do (and yes, I do say clever things occacionally)" - PerlJam

This isn't a Perl quote but it still makes me laugh. (Background: we were talking about snow, and arachne is nemo's girlfriend)

<@arachne> we only got an inch ;( after they predicted 6-0
<@arachne> 6-10*
<@arachne> dissapointing ;P
<@bk> snow, or nemo?

# AI_coder finally submits to losing an argument with peterS
<AI_coder> peterS: Fine, you go ahead and destroy human life using your huge talented brain.

<malverian> Is there an easy way to check if a variable is a hash?
<ew73> Use ref or isa
<integral> I would personally just look for the % when naming the variable.
<tybalt89> $var = bless [], 'HASH'; # mad cackles...
<integral> use overload '%{}' => \&evil_laughter;

<kay> anytime pumpkin
<zshzn> call me pumpking, baby
<kay> freak

<johnsmith> Ill sit at bars and write perl on my napkin until girls are so thick around me I cant move my body

<Estes> I don't get why at the beginning of a class a guy uses my $self = shit; Anyone can help on this please ?
<Estes> shift *
<Estes> sorry
<Estes> lol
<Estes> could be bash.org'ed

<Yaakov> Perl is exoteric.
<Elly> Perl is exothermic.
<Yaakov> Perl is endothermic.
<buu> Perl is the one true god. All hail.

<Hamled> help my regex doesn't work: [\s(?://.*?\n|/\*.*?\*/)]*struct[\s(?://.*?\n|/\

<@baud> interesting suggestion on p5p - rename Perl 6 to "Onion"
<@fish> because it makes people cry?
<@dnm> Because like the online 'zine onion, it's completely made up of fiction?
