Please realize that although I love the sport of Perl Golf, I have never, ever, claimed to be any good at it... nor has anyone else clamined that I was any good. In fact, I have never even played in the veterens bracket! I hardly deserve the title of 'Alien', unless of course we're broadening the definition to include people who have spent way too much time on Perl-golf-related activities. The definition of 'Alien' in the context of Perl Golf was coined by Jerome in reference to Ton's inhuman golfing abilities. I *aspire* to be that good, but since I haven't actually played Perl Golf since January 29 (when I finished a measly sixth on the Beginner's board of Andrew's 'Get Even' tournament), I have no idea how good I am at this point. It is fairly depressing that (-ugene is my age, I had imagined him being more of a crusty old veteran programmer. --Dave
