2016.11.20 in #279Movie-like film reader/printer based on Perl 5
Something we all did at least once, and that probably occupy 50% of the workload of the IT department of any given CSI show: a cute little script printing text in a way that mimic human typing. Nicely enough, you can compare this Perl 5 solution with its Perl 6 sibling of last week.
