How Will the World End?

The answer, I suppose, largely depends on the meaning of the question.
Does it mean when the earth ceases to exist? Or does it mean when life as we know it ceases to exist?
For the latter, I would fancy humans destroying themselves before aliens had half a chance.
For the former, I'd subscribe to "the universe doesn't have the gravitational force to continue expanding and will eventually implode into the singularity from whence it came" theory (which other, more notable, people have more eloquently put than I just did
)
By the time any of this happens, I should have posted my tax return. Phew.

Hi,
I want to add \n as a EOF at the end of file if it does't exist in a single command. How to do this?
when I use command
echo "1\n" > a.txt
and
od -c a.txt
0000000 1 \n \n
0000003
How does it differentiate \n and eof in this case?

pod::simple::dumpasxml
Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML(3pm) NAME
Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML -- turn Pod into XML SYNOPSIS
perl -MPod::Simple::DumpAsXML -e "exit Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML->filter(shift)->any_errata_seen" thingy.pod DESCRIPTION
Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML is a subclass of Pod::Simple that parses Pod and turns it into indented and wrapped XML. This class is of interest to people writing Pod formatters based on Pod::Simple. Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML inherits methods from Pod::Simple. SEE ALSO
Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream is rather like this class. Pod::Simple::XMLOutStream's output is space-padded in a way that's better for sending to an XML processor (that is, it has no ignorable whitespace). But Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML's output is much more human-readable, being (more-or-less) one token per line, with line-wrapping. Pod::Simple::DumpAsText is rather like this class, except that it doesn't dump with XML syntax. Try them and see which one you like best! Pod::Simple, Pod::Simple::DumpAsXML The older libraries Pod::PXML, Pod::XML, Pod::SAX SUPPORT
