Blergh. Yes, it could be many different things, not nessesarilly

not how they were put together

Was it something like:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

$POTATO = "boiled";
@REMAINING_INGREDIENTS = (sourcream, pepper, salmon,
	smoked_reindeer_heart, eye_of_newt);

if ($POTATO_PEEL == "on") {
	peel $POTATO;
}

dice $POTATO;

foreach $whatever (@REMAINING_INGREDIENTS) {
	$SALAD = $SALAD + $whatever;
}

serve $SALAD;
