in reply to Universal laws of bugs?

Rule Corollary
It won't break until you've forgotten how that clever hack works. The only thing you recollect is that you were very proud of such hack, but damn if you can remember why!
It will break when you are busy creating the software masterpiece of your life, when you can't be distracted by old silly bugs. You will screw up both the old code and the would be masterpiece as well.
It will break when you are boarding the plane for your honeymoon and you forgot to switch off your pager. Your wife will leave you saying "I can't believe this. You wrote a module without using strict!"

    Secondary corollary to the third case: Your wife has learned at least enough perl to nag you about your bad coding habits. ;)
