Ramblings of a Very Unskilled Programmer
Here you'll find some samples code from my first years of
playing with Perl and Linux. There are some things you should know:
shoulder
- I refuse to use "clever" programming techniques that reduce
the byte count at the cost of readability. If you need to reduce the
size of your punch-card stack, you are welcome to use shortcuts but
don't expect to see a lot of implicit variables and tricks in my code.
- Some of these examples exhibit bad programming techniques,
use them at your own risk. However I think you will find them all
harmless.
- I welcome help in improving the structure and performance
of the code. Please E-mail me.
- These are put in the public domain to help repay some of
the people that have done the same for me. If you can use something
here, great. Please let me know how they work out.
