Before people put words in my mouth, please let me point out that I
anxiously read Ward's article for the actual Perl code that made the
observations, and finding none, felt a bit ripped off.  That did also
make the article "off-charter" for me.  Ward, consider that a request
and a piece of advice. :-)
