wrong again. unless is very commonly used by decent perl hackers. i
teach its use when i can. it obviates the need for extraneous ! ops and
reads better as it is one word vs 'if not' which is two. simpler is
better. now unless/else is an abomination which should never be
used. and unless/elsif should be a cause for execution of the
coder.
