Larry Wall
Being famous has its benefits, but fame isn't one of them.
Larry Wall
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.
Larry Wall
Perl was designed to work more like a natural language. It's a little more complicated but there are more shortcuts, and once you learned the language, it's more expressive.
Larry Wall
Portability should be the default.
Larry Wall
Real theology is always rather shocking to people who already think they know what they think. I'm still shocked myself.
Larry Wall
Just don't create a file called '-rf.'
Larry Wall
What you'll need most is courage. It is not an easy path that you've set your foot upon.
