FW: www.perl.com: Pathologically Polluting Perl (02/07/2001)

Fri Feb 9 09:07:38 CST 2001

For those of you that intend to ignore this, I'd
like to echo Dave's suggestion to check out
Inline.pm module.  Especially the CPR (C Perl Run)
part.  Looks really neat.

>especially if you haven't heard him lecture before. It's a real treat.

>and also introduces his CPR utility, about which Adam "Ziggy" Turoff
>has been quoted as saying: "I feel like my head has just been wrapped
>around a brick." We're sure yours will, too. (Mine did.)
