Hello, brethren;
I was wondering about a foolish thing: in our Monastery, cradle of wisdom (or su pposedly so), there is an equally wise section named "Cool Uses for Perl".
I realize that too many times I've written silly, stupid insane programs in Perl , some of them, by the way, amusing and somewhat funny, but not properly "cool".
What do you think about a brand new section named "Insane Uses for Perl" ?
Feel free to substitute "Insane" with "mad", "stupid", "terrific", "frightening" , "evil" or any other specification you'd like to read about.
And finally, if many of us should like the idea of reading everyday a new comple tely mad (mis)use of such a beloved programming language, well, let's push towar ds the creation of this new section!

There's no Good without Evil,
We need that just to balance.
And after all,
Who can say
What Evil and Good are?

SiG

perl -le 's ssSss.s sSsSiss.s s$sSss.ss .$s\107ss.print'

P.S.: come on guys, I posted a scripts that rides a skateboard and another that rides a surf in CUFP, do you think it to be cool or insane? ;-P

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
