Re: should "use byte" be "use bytes"?

Quoting markm@nortelnetworks.com:
:     I really hate it when you sit back in your chair and tell people
:     that a feature shouldn't be added to perl because "that would be
:     hard to teach my students." Stupid arguments like that, and now
:     the recent "it's easier to type and say." Pure bullshit.

I respectfully disagree with you!

You miss some of Perl's intrinsic beauty if you fail to see how important
that "bullshit" is, precisely!
