    Perhaps this is potentially pretty pretentious, but personally I'm partial to pure, pristine praiseworthy prose (predictably)! Pray, is there possibly a particular reason this (s)pecific preeminent Perl programmer produced the post? (Translation: Was there any particular inspiration for the answer's choice of wording?)

    @HDE226868 we'd have to ask him, but he is very much a language geek and is a professional writer as well as a Perl programmer, so the quality of the prose is not surprising. Tom's one of the main reasons the Perl documentation is so well written. Commented Aug 4, 2021 at 17:41

    Sounds like they may have just watched V for Vendetta before writing that answer :p Commented Aug 4, 2021 at 17:42

    @JonClements, Jon, Jon. V for Vendetta should be read not watched! ;) Commented Aug 4, 2021 at 17:43
  • @terdon well... I've always had a soft spot for Natalie Portman so... :) Commented Aug 4, 2021 at 17:47
  • I'm just horsing around, @JonClements. I liked the movie, I just really liked the comic which I had read many years before the movie came out so V for Vendetta will always be a thing to read rather than watch in my mind. Commented Aug 4, 2021 at 17:49
