I'm not trying to make light of the fact that this man's life ended, just giving tribute and appreciation to the manner in which it ended. Better than choking on a ham sandwich.
That doesn't sound anything like a car. You must be new here.
but, if you are stuck in it, Just Not Touching and hoping for the best is quite possibly more logical than biting the bullet and taking one for the team.
Sounds like a typical Friday night for me.
Try looking at Perl code from 2009 instead.
You can say that Perl code from 2000 and Perl code written today are practically two different programming languages.
Differently from most other languages, Perl is an evolving language.
Just so you can get a clear example, compare the syntax of Perl code written using MooseX::Declare with whatever code you're dealing with:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/MooseX-Declare/lib/MooseX/Declare.pm
I bet if it wasn't for the dollar signs in front of variable names, you wouldn't even recognize it as Perl.
So, yes, Perl code from the 2000 is mostly crappy. Look for the newer stuff.
Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
