I notice a lot of monks mentioning their faith, generally Christianity.

So have I. What I find interesting is that Larry Wall is a born-again Christian. He talks about his faith all the time. For example, he has given an interview with slashdot in which he mentions how his religious faith influences his work. Is Perl a Christian programming language? Is it absurd to ask such a question? Python would have to be Satanism. What other language is associated with a snake? No wonder Python and Perl programmers don't get along. By the way, Perl was almost named Gloria, after Larry's wife. Certainly the name Gloria has more religious undertones than Perl. I have no problem with people expressing their religious beliefs or allowing them to influence their work. If people believe in Jesus and are proud of it, let them be.

#!/heaven/perl use Jesus;

Perl will be in Heaven, right?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
