Re: Perl Geek Code
PLPM++I answer questions (correctly) on #london.pm
But aren't most of the questions on #london.pm of the form "shall we
go down the pub then?", to which there is a simple answer that's
almost always correct...
I toyed with the idea of taking this out, but I wanted it to be the same
as for PP, so that someone who is PP+++ is basically the same as someone
who is HLPM++ or suchlike...

Ah, but my question was badly phrased. I needed to end up with @sort, not
a printed list ...
The result of this was heading towards another couple of maps ;)
I had found the solution long before this turned up though (stupidly
forgot to update my .muttrc for the new list address, so I had to go
through moderation again ...) - just a matter of doubling those curly
brackets (no need for all those +s etc...)

To quote:
I think there's one very significant contributing factor: you don't have
to install a module to use Perl and installing a module is the easiest way
to use PHP.
IOW: if you just want to allow people to use Perl and PHP, you only
install mod_php, not mod_perl. Once you've reached a point where
performance of Perl programs is an issue (or you want to do something more
interesting than a CGI) mod_perl is likely to get installed.
