in reply to My Perl code can be understood by...

All my Perl code can be understood by the Perl compiler. Since the average computer has considerably less processing power than almost any tetrapod, my dog should be able to read and understand it. He can't, and I would be challenged six months later if it weren't for my habit of including a reasonable number of not too cryptic comments.

    Get a Border Collie, they can be trained to do anything.

    Me to dog: What do you think of my Perl?
    Dog to me: Rough

      I've heard of border collies herding wild rabbits, and trying to herd squirrels, so I've no doubt that they could be trained to manage programmers (which has been likened to herding cats).

      My dog is a bichon frise, who is cute and adorable (alas, that's a stock photo) but not the sharpest knife in the doggy drawer.
