I think the trickster in me must be coming out in my old age. Cause I’ve been trying to figure out how I could sneak something like this into code just to see if I could give someone the willies. Maybe I could call it a test of our code review procedures.

perl -E 'my $c = "sadistopia"; print "OK\n" if($c =~ m msadism)'
