FYI, this is what some PERL code can look like -- and no I didn't write this, but I thought I could f*ing share this joy:


--------------------------------------------------------------
use strict;
use warnings;

require XML::Twig;
use File::Temp qw(tempfile);


my $opt_replace;
# No &Getopt::Long::GetOptions as we need to distinguish '-i' and '-iext'.
while (@ARGV) {
last if $ARGV[0]!~/^-/;
local $_=shift @ARGV;
if ($_ eq "-h" || $_ eq "--help") {
print <<"HERE";
--------------------------------------------------------------

NB: That excerpt interrupts what's called a "heredoc". as if it phucking matters.

Now doesn't that shytte just seem some goddamned enlightening? Yeaaaaah, riiiiiiiiiiighttt

As of right now, I'm downloading an hour's worth of data -- on one phucking slooooow connection -- so in order to run the script that that is an excerpt of. ActivePerl on the down-pipe, 15.5 MB a'fucking-trickling in. Even at the (pitifully) high-speed average of 6.2 KB/s, it takes that fucking long.

The script that that is an excerpt of, it's an XBEL normalizer. I'm hoping to heck that it'll work, for fudging-up my Galeon-quasi-XBEL bookmarks file, into a format that Firefox will actually be able to "import" into its bookmarks mess (instead of just looking like as if it was doing so.) Even then, it'll probably make a mess of my existing bookmarks. It seems like it may be a necessary thang, in an effort to dig-up some links that I had in that bookmark file -- in particular, some bookmarks in regards to the UN -- maybe on a lark, if you'd say so, but I'll be damned if it ain't a phucking worthwhile lark.

Korn on the WiMP -- I tried using Winamp, but its equalizer just didn't match up. My MP3s sounded like really thin things through Winamp -- sounding like so, even with Winamp's own equalizer having been activated. Neither did its media-library management interface match up.
