Not pedantic enough. You didn't comment on Perl being a backronym for REPL! I can't find anything out there about this either. It must therefore only be me :). >Welcome to the Perl subculture! I was at the time also in the Slackware subculture, Church of the subgenious. It got very foobar. Tried learning Perl since highschool, it was too much of a mindF* for me to get going with. chomp? regex! Phew. Maybe with Perl6, it's time.
