To generate background color (for "xterm(1)"), I use the #Perl (was 5.3[68]; is 5.40) program on #FreeBSD (was 13; is 14) …
use strict; use warnings;
my @red = qw[ 05 15 20 25 30 ];
my @green = qw[ 00 05 10 15 ];
my @blue = qw[ 00 10 15 16 ];
print join( q[/],
$red[ rand @red ],
$green[ rand @green ],
$blue[ rand @blue ]
);
Rarely the FIRST time is the color other than same shade of brown. Because "@red" is longer? Some initial state?

I’m looking for work as a senior software #developer. I have a full-stack #WebDev cert, 16+ years #Perl back-end experience, proficiency in multiple other #programming languages.
Databases? Sure, relational *and* NoSQL. CI/CD? Have done, want to do more. I like working with others, either here in #Houston or remotely across the US.
I’ve been hacking code since the #Commodore PET days. I can certainly delight your customers, whatever your stack.

Just a reminder, all you have to do to get your Perl #programming posts to appear on the @surf custom feed I created is hashtag them with #Perl

#Perl: older than some #programming careers, younger at heart than you think.
It’s evolved a lot since 1999 — modern features, cleaner syntax — yet it still runs code you wrote decades ago.
(And if you’re wondering: #Perl6 was renamed Raku in 2019 — it’s a sister language, not a successor.)
Curious? Returning after a long break? @shiar’s cheat sheet is a perfect quick‑scan: https://sheet.shiar.nl/perl

👋 Hi, I’m Mark — welcome! This is my #introduction.
I share a mix of #philosophy (#Objectivism), #Perl coding, and the occasional nonsense. You might also see #ballroom #dance, #cosplay, and #music on #BassGuitar — sometimes all in the same week.
For a great starting point on Rand, try _The #AynRand Reader_: https://aynrand.org/novels/the-ayn-rand-reader/
You’ll find me every year at at #DragonCon in #Atlanta, plus #DeltaHCon and #Comicpalooza here in #Houston.
Glad you’re here — pull up a chair.
