in reply to Remote port forward with core modules only

Heh, there's code very similar to this (but written in Perl 4 and a lot shorter) as part of the State's evidence in my criminal trial. Larry Wall commented that it was Perl, but not very good Perl. {sigh}

    is there a link to that specific code? it would be cool to have a CUFP titled "Perl code for getting arrested" ;) (yeah, bad joke, I know)

      This text file references programs named 'Gate' and 'Door': State's Exhibits 16,19 and Defendant's Exhibits 151,152,153,154. Not sure if they're available online anywhere though...

        After posting that previous note, I found a tar.gz from July 1995 with the source to "gate" (four versions, actually, having been pulled from historical backups). If I conclude it won't do any harm, I may be convinced to post it. I might just give it to Steve for the FORS site.

    I was wondering, did it ever cross your mind that you were a scapegoat, in a conspiracy between Intel and Microsoft, to discourage Perl and taint the Perl crowd as hackers and pirates? Or that you may have been setup?

      Maybe not as fun as a ninja, but still fun.
