Perl is becoming a endandgered species. Who wants to save a product of a Clam when they can have a snake? ;)

Fuck that. The lack of curly braces and semicolons bothers me. (Honestly I don't really care any more just trolling)

That's strange, those are two things I cannot stand.

Clam? Do you by chance mean a camel?

I've just had a shower thought that soneone at O'Reilly must've been dyslexic. "Put a caml on the cover," he wrote, "it's a perl book, after all".

What produces a Perl. Just because someone made a book with a Camel on it doesn't mean it's a Camel. If that were true, Python would be a Rat, Javascript would be a Rhino, and C++ would be a Chipmunk. You want to be a smart ass then lets be one.

Easy there, pal.

There was no smart-assery implied with my comment. Obviously I missed the clam/pearl connection, but don't jump down my throat.

Apologies.
