Some people get a little to into computers
Perl's gluing ability goes beyond computation, to people. To the poor and have-nots. It unites people in the computing field who are not endowed with engaging brains. It is the sanctuary of dunces.

The song and dance of stultified engineers. —Xah Lee, 2000-12
