See how it looks nothing like XML (invented by a Windows user,
obviously), and actually looks a lot like perl with regexes?
On second thoughts, it looks nothing like perl. There aren't enough $, @
and % symbols in it. But the regex bit stands.

Thind this un-understandable !
It's a joke, and it's been going on for a *very* long time :-)
Every time someone mentions hal, and it doesn't matter what it's about, either
me or Neil will usually post and and tell Dale now is his chance to tell us
about hal. We've done this about 100 times by now so nothing Dale says
is new :-) And everyone else usually joins in the fun.
Sometimes, just for fun, we'll turn the hal joke into something against perl,
or python or anything else really.
If you don't get the joke, you can ignore everything that happened after the
first person mentioned "Dale"
Yea, everybody likes to pick on me. LOL
People seem to forget tho that I have told people to try to use hal,
even with xorg. Sometimes it just works. When it doesn't, remove the
hal USE flag for xorg and life goes on.
I also think sometimes the joke is on everyone else. Even the guy that
wrote hal has given up on that monster. That says a LOT to me.
