note:  This is *not* a good idea with *all* perl monger lists.  New
York, for instance, is more of a social list and, while not *utterly*
opposed to technical issues, questions that can be answered by simply
reading the documentation *will* get you nicely charred.  :-/

Of course, other monger groups are more technically oriented.  I'm
just saying you should make sure you know your list before posting
such questions to it.

um.  I guess I should put in something fun, huh?  Ok, a japh:

perl -e '$"=q-Just Another Perl Hacker-; push @x, $_ for (qw+* *+);
print "@x\n"' #requires perl 5.004_05 or later

I think it still needs some work, but I haven't had time lately...
