Which says that for/n/ 341,550,071,728,321 it is enough to test 2, 3,
5, 7, 11, 13 and 17 to be definitive (and fewer specific tries for
smaller n)
That also verifies the 75/25 figures mentioned below.

Let's just do a connect by logical application name and let the
SysAdmins sort out which DB that connects to, in a standard way.

Create a template like the above and then DWIM::AI::Yadda will
join the dots and create the program for you !

development of a script.
On the DWIM principle, shouldn't Perl then just autoload the DWIM::AI
module and provide as output the script that they are intending to write ?

I think you mean s/two/three/ :

$string = 'one\qq{ {$var\} }three' # $string = 'one {two}

For example, the integer 30 can be written in base 16

my $x = 16#1D;
my $x = 16#1:14;
These two representations are incompatible, so writing
something like C16#D:13 will generate a compile-time
error.
$a = 256:192.169.34.76;
my $b = 10:$a;
my $c = 16:'34:13.23.0.1.23.45';
How would that work with
print 10:$a;
Would that have to be printf(...%r...) as mentioned elsewhere ?

I'd expect Inf
Er... doesn't it depend on whether Inf is odd or even, and
therefore indeterminate and therefore NaN ?

Normal numification would presumably propogate the undef but +Inf value.

I have no doubt that, once Perl 6 is available, we'll see a
rash of modules released in the Grammar:: namespace.
Including Grammar::Romana,
Grammar::Klingon, Grammar::Buffy, Grammer::Mispelt, and others... :-)
Grammar::Python, Grammar::Ruby, Grammar::PHP ?
