go support your public libraries people.

we've had to fix so many things that people idly sprayed WD-40 into without thinking about what it really does.

Don't DO THAT.

you're probably not looking for WD-40 when you use it.

WD-40 removes lubricant that is already there, cutting it with a lighter petroleum compound.

use the right stuff for the job, we're not going to explain what these are because there are 10,000,000 different things for everything here and it would take days to explain them all.

[hint: it's probably not WD-40]

@rtsn as a note: this actually improved our life greatly because perl regex is so much nicer to work with compared to sed and much more portable across platforms.

it was always annoying going between a gnu sed and bsd sed and having shit break >_>

@rtsn a way we found around that was using perl -pe / -ne expressions!

We've found it to be rare that you not have perl on a machine and it can be much faster to write something like perl -ne 'print if /perlre match/' or perl -pe 's/match/replace/' and can be much more powerful if you're willing to write more perl >_>
