RE: [FWP] perl5 is 5

Sorry but I couldn't help myself:-) Not that it's very nice but...

$a="Happy birthday";print "$a to you,\n"x2,"$a dear perl5,\n$a to you.\n";

is actually 6 chars shorter :-)
Cheers,

perl5 is 5.

So in the spirit of JAPH:

for(0..3){print"Happy birthday ".(/2/?"dear perl5":"to
you").(/3/?".":",")."\n"}

Can anybody get it smaller...
