-   You know how everything in UNIX is supposed to be a file?
-   You know Perl lets you do everything you'd ever want to do?
-   You know that means, logically, you can return UNIX to its
-   pure, pre-Fall state, where everything *is* a file -
-   anything you want? So you could, say, chdir to
-   "http://www.yahoo.com/", then chdir to all the links on that
-   page? And you know that there's only one person insane
-   enough to thus let you write your own filing system - in
-   Perl? Yes, from the people who brought you the Turing
-   Machine using only dd and sh, we roundly announce:
-   http://dd.sh/perlfs/
