in reply to Computers and Programming
Unfortunately, sometimes, your understanding and the computer's understanding of the same action take different paths.
When I say
The machine has converted some understanding into action. But it wasn't my understanding. :(
Therefore, programming is to translate my understanding into the machine's understanding. :)
When I say
I expect the stupid machine to spit out 'Perl Programmer'. Instead, I get 'Perl programmer", you are a "piece of rust'my $string = 'I am a "Perl programmer", you are a "piece of rust"'; $string =~ /"(.*)"/; print "$1\n";

$string =~ /"([^"]*)"/; # 'Perl programmer'
