Perl 5 point 10 in layman terms
As a developer, one of the great things I love about Gentoo (Linux distribution with BSD 'ports-like' package management) is the feeling it gives you that eveything you do to your system has an undo button. (For the record, I have at least come to my senses about this need in a production situation.) A great example of this is layman, which I think is fair to say is a slightly more intuitive version of managing an apt sources file. Today I realised there is a portage overlay (for use with layman) that I have been missing out on and perhaps it's because it's a fairly recent addition but it comes just in time for me to try and get more serious about hacking in Perl.
