Not Your Grandfather’s Perl

>Bless you, Larry

I see what you did there.

Edit: for those downvoting me because they don't understand my comment, it refers to the fact that bless is function of the standard library to associate an object with a class.

If you're downvoting me because you think it's a stupid and off topic comment, that is perfectly valid and acceptable to me.

Thanks for thinking me more clever than I may be.

It was a simple blessing, and perhaps a reference to this interview with Larry.

To me, the language creator's faith is one more reason to use it.

My suspicion (not in a negative way as I'm Christian as well) is that the function was named so because of Larry's faith.
