No problem.  Can I use a code generator?

	## Today's task: write 10,000 lines of code that compile the first time
	perl -le 'print q(print "Hello, World!\n";) for 1..10_000;' > today.pl
	perl -c today.pl 

	## Time to double my productivity!
	perl -le 'print q(print "Hello, World!\n";) for 1..10_000;' > tomorrow.pl

	## Whew!  Time for a coffee break...
	exit
