A true pedant knows how to use quotation marks (or inverted
commas, if you prefer, though a true pedant should notice that
only one is inverted) and thus can tell the difference between
printing the middle line and printing "the middle line".
And watch out with your use.perl.org journal entries! I don't
know what to do with that hole now. I probably wouldn't have
discovered that on my own, but now I'll never know.
WARNING TO OTHER GOLFERS: Avoid Piers's journal!
