Just bumped into another irresponsibility in perl.

[snipped rand about File::Basename docs]


Why the fuck do i need to know what is version, or examination what??
Not every morons in this world is using unix with its morinic
convention of appending things to file names as a versioning system,
and not every moron in this world need to “exam” things.

you are right. the docs do not seem to address the
needs of morons. there sould be a shorter version of
the docs, specially for morons, with each example
if larger font, repeated 10 times.

To the rookie programers out there, i advice against learning Perl.
(i suggest Python instead) Please see
File Not Found

thank you

It’a not that, what makes me laugh is:

“When I read a word I don’t understand, I write it down. I aspire to be
the greatest nerd” – Xah Lee.

Presumably, if the documentation for whatever it was never existed, he
would not be the toss…umm, nerd, that he aspires to be today?

Just a thought.
