  I certainly don't feel welcome to Perl5, given that I'm apparently not
programming in it correctly or something:

        "Don't blame Perl for not having to translate your C code."
                        --Abigail

        "You just don't seem to know Perl."
                        --Abigail

        "Perl is not C."
                        -- Earle Martin

  And language family wise, C and Perl are close (compared to, say, Perl and
Erlang).

  Don't blame Perl for not having to translate your Perl code.
