  Yuki, the way you phrased it here, there is not a question to answer. You expressed an opinion that invites a response, but does not actually request one....

• Commented on The Perl Conference - what is new?
  Mohammad- I still share your sense of awe. Last year at The Perl Conference (North America), I happened to be standing next to some other guy named Larry. As his conversation wound down, I muttered something to the effect of...
• Commented on 6lang: The Naming Discussion Update
  I work as a government contractor (where Perl is used more than is prudent to discuss). Government people have heard of Perl, even if they don't know what it is and may last have looked at the language back when...
• Commented on Reading a binary file and printing it's contents as hex values
  Thanks for posting. You don't need the "defined" in your while expression, do you? That confused me a bit, until I recalled that when reading file handles, Perl automagically inserts "defined" into the while( my $buffer = ) construct. Of...
• Commented on 1000th consecutive days releasing to CPAN
  Allow me to also say- and this probably reflects my own limited world experience as much as anything else- how gratifying I find it to see someone named Muhammad release Calendar::Hebrew. Truly you help make this world a better place!...
• Commented on 1000th consecutive days releasing to CPAN
  Hugely impressed that anyone can write 1000 CPAN modules, let alone do it in 1000 days. Why, you've put Damian Conway to shame!...
• Commented on Suspending efforts on my #riba2016 crowdfunding campaign, looking forward to my own Xmas
  Peter, I share in some small way your disappointment. This does not augur well for Perl, as your presence on CPAN will be missed. What with this campaign failing, I do not understand why my pledge was triggered: the pledged...
• Commented on I'm Thankful for Perl
  Sincere congratulations, Dr. Berger. Allow me to couple the above sentiment with the not-so-sincere wish that now that you have obtained your doctorate, you can forget about all that electron spectroscopy nonsense, and focus your mind on the serious matter...
• Commented on Getting Started
  Second Bill Ruppert's comment. I think there are a lot of people with a Perl 5 background who are wondering when, if, and how to make the plunge to Perl 6. Convincing the world of government, which is so wedded...

  Could be x-lang (eks-lang). Not so bad, not taken as far as I know.

  Hi, Larry

  What do you mean the word of Greek?

• lowjoe commented on I started to write "Perl Philosophy" lately

  that's an idiom meaning "it's all a foreign language to me". you wrote a post in english pointing english-speaking users to a site that had no english.

  I'm Japanese and Asian, so it may be because I can't write English well.
