I'm Going to Fork Perl

... and the only change is that I'm renaming hashes to DSLs.

I'm forking your fork

... oh yeah, well I'm naming my fork PHERL, which stands for Paulgraham, Haskell, Erlang, Rubyonrailsroolzdoodz, and Lisp.

Ruby has symbols for this and you can write 'process "selector", :foo => "@href"' and I started with 'process "selector", \$foo => '@href'' in Perl but ended up with (invisible) hash.

Of course! I wrote something similar to automate customer testing five years ago, way before the Railzers started their little Internet DSL fetish social club. It's a good technique. I just hate the sticker being slapped on everything.
