<p>And the analogy was imperfect, yes... unless you regard them as similarly-subtle distinctions in general. ;)<br>

OMG, are we nerds or what. Talking 2 hours about the capitalisation of a 4 letter proper noun. We haven't even gotten into modperl, JavaScript, or RegEx.<br><br>Curious, is there a talk planned for this month?<br>Is anyone interested in Perl Dancer?<br>
