I was given very similar maze problems by two companies this spring.

The second one also asked me to implement base64, which was fun and actually taught me something.

His AI ``memes'' are too ``strong'' for /frog/.

Mentifex = LISP^{LISP^LISP}?

I could easily say that Mentifex is the best poster here. I love him.

Let's hope that this post is Perl quality, because today at the Goodwill thrift shop, for $1.99 plus $0.19 sales tax, Mentifex here bought the 1,283-page "PERL Black Book" from anno Domini 1999 by Steven Holzner. Having been a Perl programmer for two whole days now, Mentifex made his first purchase towards assembling a library of Perl reference books.

I've got a perl pocket reference.
I used it all the time when I was unfamiliar with perl. Really useful.
Could probably get the same usefulness out of a handful of cheat sheets though

My library for coding Perl AI now has five books.

On Thurs.16.APR.2015 at Half Price Books I bought:
$02.00 Programming Perl, Second Edition, (C) 1996;
$09.99 Learning Perl, Second Edition, (C) 1997;
$05.99 Programming Perl, Third Edition, (C) 2000;
$05.99 PERL In Easy Steps, (C) 2004.
$23.97 subtotal
$02.30 WA 9.6% Sales tax.
$26.27 TOTAL expenditure

I've lost all the respect I had for you.

Maybe he writes his perl with pencil and paper, so the coding is a discrete step.

Why?

Whom are you quoting? His post only contains the word "Programming", and not a single word "coding".

> Why?

Because the earlier edition was only two dollars -- next to nothing -- and I want to be able to compare the two editions.

Wait until those Germans find out the name I am going to give the AI; it's going to phreak them out. (I have to code the Perl AI simultaneously in English and in German, so that even the English AI follows the grammar rules that barely matter in English but matter a lot in German :-)

Mentifex, why haven't I seen you on /lang/?

Huh? What is /lang/? A typical URL for it, please.

Before Perl came to be, I am on Usenet:
