What does `$result = f() .. g()' really return?
What does `$result = f() .. g()' really return? False so long as f() returns false, after which it returns true until g() returns true, and then starts the cycle again. This is scalar not list context, so we have the bistable flip-flop range operator famous in parsing of mail messages, as in `$in_bo... 2013-09-06, 1721👍, 0💬

Why is it hard to call this function: sub y { "because" }
Why is it hard to call this function: sub y { "because" } Because y is a kind of quoting operator. The y/// operator is the sed-savvy synonym for tr///. That means y(3) would be like tr(), which would be looking for a second string, as in tr/a-z/A-Z/, tr(a-z)(A-Z), or tr[a-z][A-Z]. 2013-09-05, 1646👍, 0💬

What does Perl do if you try to exploit the execve(2) race involving setuid scripts? Sends mail to root and exits.

Why aren't Perl's patterns regular expressions?
Why aren't Perl's patterns regular expressions? Because Perl patterns have backreferences. A regular expression by definition must be able to determine the next state in the finite automaton without requiring any extra memory to keep around previous state.
