Justice another perl hackers [Linux penderel 2.4.18 #4 ]
5a 5tte perl 4on, [Linux ddmi.he.net 2.2.20 #5]
Yup, looks like 'perl' is more cross platform than 'hackers' :)

*grin* I know, I know. It works on OS X and every Redhat and Mandrake
version I can find > 5 (via the tertiary on $^O), which is about as far
as I think I can get in 70x3. Debian's is completely inconsistent,
changing across releases and upgrades and all sorts.
It was a cute idea, though. (And it took me ages to work out how I was
going to get 'perl' in there, given that it's not in dictionary files)
Next up, pulling them straight from perlfaq1.. ;-)

Thanks to both for the kind words, and to Leon for keeping up the
summaries before me.

Will do. At the moment, I'm in the midst of some evil ex**s at Uni, so
that'd be the only thing keeping me too busy[1].
I think it'll be a good thing for me to do, anyway - especially since
I'm moving to London next month (to intern with Morgan Stanley for the
Summer) and I think london.pm's the only group of people down there that
I'll have had contact with already. It'll be great to have some people
already know me from the summaries when I'm introducing myself drunkenly
at socials. Maybe.

- Chris.
[0]: NMF.
[1]: Or the only thing giving me the motivation to write lots of list
mail while I should be revising. You decide.

Ta hugely, Chris, and long may your reign continue[0]. [0] - You may like to note, however, that in the event of your reign as london.pm summariser lasting for 50 years, there are unlikely to be inpromptu street parties, Elton John concerts, fireworks or national holidays. Although if you're lucky, we might buy you a clock or something.
