[oak perl] Most Annoying Regex? > Perl & Schoenberg

[George Woolley]

Mark did in fact give the long awaited talk on Perl & Schoenberg --
with audio examples.
I was previously unaware of Schoenberg's versatility
or his big influence on cartoon music.
And in the article "Wherefore Art, Thou",
Larry Wall has related Perl to cartoon music:
"... What music is Perl? Why, cartoon music, of course."
Hm. ...
