RE: Re: Urgent justification for perl

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/11/19]

I know this is going to be taken seriously, but, jst incase
any of you out there are unsure -> this is a joke <-. your
reading of this implies that you have some humour :)

Reasons to use mod_perl
1) its like perl, but with extra bits, like the word 'mod'
    before it, and an underline.
2) its faster than any other language, even assembler!
    especially if you use Inline inside mod_perl.
3) it seem's sexy
4) it has a name that allows you to 'one up' other programmers
    ('you do perl eh ? well i do -mod- perl, much harder')
5) its not asp (actually, thats almost not a joke reason ;)
6) its open source (as in beer, women, cars and speech).
7) you can program in it better than other languages.
8) its a security risk (this allows you to break into your
    program from outside, helpful if your doing finance
    sector programming).
9) its byzantium and cryptic, thus enabling you to write
    yourself into a job for life.

one of those is a 'valid reason' above all others, see if
you can tell which one ;>
