God's view on LISP, and Perl: "Truly, this was the language from which the gods wrought the universe." "No, it's not." "It's not?" "I mean, ostensibly, yes. Honestly, we hacked most of it together with Perl."
Hahaha.. That explains both the elegance of it all, and how damn confusing it is to reason through the inner workings. xkcd - Perl: When you absolutely, positively, must create the universe in seven days |

The number 8 and the number 2. Laziness. Xscreensaver. ADHD and spontaneity. The many forms of Rorschach. Symmetry and sexual hang-ups. Freudian repression and expression. Asperger and initiative of others. Mutations and complications. Limited views. Dreams, no dreams, and morphine. Empathy for screensavers. Limited logical inferences per second. Tubes and pipes revisited. Tentacles, molting and emerging. Cycles and metamorphosis. Social grouping signals. Forks. Programable fashion. History handling. The best state handling money can buy. Life's iterated algorithms. Presentation continuity and forum. Passing surgery ahead. Tribes that hunt you down or make you explode. The next hundred years worth of predictions. Community, thank you. I had not realized how much hell Larry had gone through recently. I am confident Perl's best days remain ahead, and I hope the same goes for Larry. perl.com: The State of the Onion |

MisterHouse is an open source home automation program. It's fun, it's free, and it's entirely geeky. Written in Perl, it fires events based on time, web, socket, voice, and serial data. It currently runs on Windows 95/98/NT/2k/XP and on most Unix platforms, including Linux. Perl subroutines and objects are used to give a powerful programming interface. Here is some example code: $fountain = new X10_Item 'B1';
set $fountain ON if time_now '6:00 PM'; $movement_sensor = new Serial_Item 'XA2', 'stair';
play(file =gt 'stairs_creek*.wav') if state_now $movement_sensor eq 'stair'; $v_bedroom_curtain = new Voice_Cmd '[open,close] the bedroom curtains';
curtain('bedroom', $state) if $state = said $v_bedroom_curtain;
