If you want to add zest to your life and get rid of that persistent boredom,
use FA for your Perl scripts.  I know.  I figured "What the heck, a file is
a file, right?" and didn't pay close attention to file structure.  Several
days later, after coding a Perl script twice, I finally figured out that
bytestream is the only way to go.

Just repeat after me "vi is my friend, vi is my friend, ..."
