Just took a look in the perl newsgroup....

And remembered why I decided I must learn Python :-)
I clearly need to learn "the Python Way", which _is_ quite different, and
has its good and bad points (stamps foot.  I _want_ a case statement).
But thank goodness for the sparse syntax, and minimalism.  I guess I'll live
with no case just to forget about @ % $ etc.
