Writing some #Perl for the first time in years.

This is where I am:

• Mojolicious, subroutine signatures, and “->@*" deferencing syntax: ✅

• Honey, no, it's “\n”, not “/n”: ❌

The best three things I've learned from #Perl and Perl culture, over the decades:

• A technology is only as usable as its documentation.

• A technology is only as trustworthy as its test suite.

• Regular expressions are good, actually.

@jmac Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems. - Jamie Zawinsk

@sparkman Some people, when confronted with another person solving a problem with #RegularExpressions, think, “I know, I’ll quote @jwz.” Now they feel clever without having to contribute anything.
