How Perl Saved my Day
Perl Poetry |
Perl poetry is a poem written in Perl. It is not required to do
anything useful, but it must be a valid Perl programm. Like the following, taken from
Pete's Perl Poetry:
sleep;
pipe (drip, drip);
listen (drip, drip);
kill noises;
kill dripping;
close pipe soon, NOW;
sleep again;
listen (drip, drip);
sleep (not now);
exit (do it);
accept destiny, now;
alarm neighbors;
get the keys now, &;
;
crypt of,darkness;
not a single; pipe here,anywhere;
