But I'm working really hard to see the perl value add on that one. :-P "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." --Albert Einstein "This is still a dangerous world.

Therefore I don't have to remember where that blade originally was to be found because it is part of Perl. Besides, on any machine where I've resided for a while, I know that Perl is there. I don't know that the rest of the Unix toolset is. In fact until you pointed out that it exists, I'd never looked for a tr utility. Now that I have, I know where another Perl operator came from, and I'll blissfully forget about the tr utility. Its existence is one more thing that I can forget. YMMV, and in this case it probably does.

You wouldn't know what normal was if it rode into town on the normal express, kicked down your door with its size normal boots, danced into your living room wearing nothing but the word "normal" and sang "normality is here again" on your dining room table whilst dancing the foxtrot.
