| pasteling | "punter" at 91.140.5.147 pasted "Serious question: Shouldn't this program NOT print "done" ?" (7 lines, 65B) at http://sial.org/pbot/23273 |
| rindolf | Jmax-: well, it ships as part of most Linux distributions? |
| Jmax- | not debian or gentoo |
| rindolf | Jmax-: maybe by "built-in" they mean usable. |
| punter | Please see the code pasted above: shouldn't this program NOT print "done"? |
| Jmax- | pasteling: it shouldn't compile at all er punter |
| rindolf | Jmax-: that you can install it and it will work. |
| punter | Jmax-: but it DOES... |
| Jmax- | rindolf: oh, that's not the correct usage of that word |
| punter | Jmax-: I've got debian stable, what could be wrong there? |
| rindolf | Jmax-: $a is a built-in variable. |
| Jmax- | yeah, that's right |
| rindolf | punter: $a and $b are built-in global variables. |
| Jmax- | $a and $b are special |
| punter | ahaaaaaa, ok thanks so much :-) thx |
| rindolf | punter: they are used by perldoc -f sort |
| Jmax- | yep |
| punter | yes yes, i know sort thanks :-) bye |

| thrig | OSX ships with rsync, other *BSD do not |
| action | somian definitely agrees that "built-in" is the wrong term. |
| somian | definitely agrees that "built-in" is the wrong term. |
| thrig | "readily available, either preinstalled or via a package system" is a bit more wordy |
| rindolf | somian: why did you -- the satisfied customer? |
| somian | read again, rindolf |
| rindolf | somian: ah, because you didn't want it to be increased twice? |
| somian | Of course! |
| rindolf | somian: are you back? |
| somian | Back to what? |
| rindolf | Funny thing is that I bought the paperback books, and I'm only getting a coupon for reading them on Safari for 45 days. |
| somian | Actually I have to go feed my squirrel |
| rindolf | somian: back on IRC. |
