Okay kids, fun as this all is, I recall not long ago when people
started putting up malicious Perl scripts on perlmonks.org in the
obfuscated Perl part of the site. Some people just don't speak shell,
and will run these commands just for the fun of it.

So for the sake of newbies (like my friend Jason, who ran rm -rf / in
all cluelessly the first day he had a Unix machine under his control)
and for list archives I say: don't do that.

<@kazin> why does php have 'echo' and 'print'?  Do they do different things?
