Chris Turkel : The Gimp running on Xtools 1.b10 on Mac OS X Final.
Larry Wall : "What I will be revealing in these columns will be the design of Perl 6.
Or more accurately, the beginnings of that design, since the design process will certainly continue after I've had my initial say in the matter. I'm not omniscient, rumors to the contrary notwithstanding. This job of playing God is a little too big for me. Nevertheless, someone has to do it, so I'll try my best to fake it. And I'll expect all of you to help me out with the process of creating history. We all have to do our bit with free will."
