Topic: I think my class in Perl might actually be benefiting me.

Over the course of the past few weeks I've managed to understand this language a bit more and even managed to get into lua which is something I never was able to do before. Lua is definitely by far easier than fucking Perl, no wonder why the Perl language is outdated.

If anyone has any experience with "here documents" on Perl.
Can you please tell me what it means when it says the label must be in column 1?

Protip: It's a label. Like a thing you label something with when you give it name.

All that work with PERL will really make you thrilled when you find the need to learn UNIX or Linux. You at this point no matter where you are at with PERL - You can do UNIX or Linux with only a few minutes of study.
You end up with 3 for the price of 1

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Because that's how heredocs work. It lets the Perl interpreter know when it starts and ends.

Good to know. It's really weird if you aren't used to bash.
> What is the source of this copypasta? Did it originate from /g/?
Some old hacker culture documentary where Richard Stallman interrupted the interviewer with that diatribe.
