- I'm sure it won't be worse than the transition from Perl 0 to Perl 1 was. But
- then, Larry, Mark, and I were the only users of Perl 0, back in our blacker
- (so to speak :-)) days. Perl 1 was the first version released to the net,
- after Larry had moved over to RandD at SDC (hence, the machine name, sdcrdcf).

- One of these days, when my beard gets more grizzed, I'll tell you children the
- story :-)
