Spare me your advice.  Mr. Christensen's bigoted spew is full of quasi-factual
assertions and little else.  It's rather pathetic how anti-Csh some Perl users
are despite the fact that Perl borrows so much from it.

And I've dealt with too many unreadable Perl scripts and had to work around
too many stupid "features" of Korn (the shell of Sys Vile).
