| mauke | WTF dear emacs: lern2quote plzkthx |
| cld2 | avar: I think I can do this. can I add -d -e to #!/bin/perl in the script I want to debug? |
| avar | mauke: dude, you would have seen that if you spent 10 seconds looking in the embedded manual you want to use /bin/perl instead of /usr/bin/perl ? cld2: but yeah |
| mauke | avar: no, I wouldn't because I did try to read the manual at one point |
| cld2 | avar: just condensing for space sake. |
| avar | don't read the manual, look stuff up in it |
| cld2 | avar: thanks. |
| mauke | emacs is scary because any keypress can potentially destroy my text |
| q[ender] | cld2, it's 4 chars dumbass |
| avar | mauke: no, that's vi |
| LeoNerd | Solaris systems often don't have a separate /usr as such; so /bin -> /usr/bin as a symlink |
| q[ender] | avar, but he KNOW what keys to press in vi |
| mauke | no, with vi I can simply use undo/redo |
| nahasa | I need to use perl to return html strings, what is the alternative to having a ton of print statements for a long html string? |
| avar | you just have to remember that control and meta are special |
| cld2 | q[ender]: I see this now, and my explination wasted much more typing |
| LeoNerd | I imagine /bin/perl might be useful there :) |
| avar | mauke: yeah, if only emacs had those features *sarcasm* |
| mauke | exactly redo would be awesome |
| q[ender] | cld2, excellent |

| avar | mauke: you suck dude GumbyBRAIN: hit mauke with your gumbydong |
| GumbyBRAIN | are you coming to love your gumbydong. |
