Perl(Hello World)

I wrote some Perl to say hello,
To a world i did not know.
Prepended line numbers there in tow,
I basically told it where to go.

 10 ? 'Hello World!\n';
[download]

Something there did not quite load,
No matter how i tried to goad,
Quickly then i shifted mode,
And thought i'd see to add the code.

 use cout;
 print << 'Hello World!\n';
[download]

But that just didn't work at all,
Did i forget to make a call?
Imagining i was Larry Wall,
I coded the sequel to carry the ball.

 query::statement->execute('SELECT "Hello World!\n"');
[download]

What's there to object in that line?
On paper it had worked just fine,
Perl is broken...or is that just mine?
No, add a line, and never whine!

 procedure perl is begin(print 'Hello World!\n')
[download]

Something there was still not right,
But, waste not time and be contrite.
I must put up and win this fight,
Make a web of code to end my plight.

 <?perl <print>'Hello World!\n'</print>; ?>
[download]

Just when i thought my code was suited,
I found that i was just deluded,
But where had the offending line intruded?
Oh! Just assemble a line to be included.

 use LC0.ascii /Hello, world!/;
 movl $LC0, (%esp);
[download]

Why is it that Perl is so frustrating?
I give perfect code, yet it's not abating,
And people love what i start hating?
I need help, if just for tranlsating.

 print *, "Hello World!",
       e\nd
[download]

Then again, thrown to the ground,
But i know that my good code is sound!
Perhaps the web has help to be found,
And answer: why does perl monkey around?

I added a node, asking the question,
I posted my code, and made sure to mention,
How perfect it was, (at least in inflection).
I just hope that Poetry is the correct section.

Be you pronounced "Chah-Cham", as in perhaps, "sha-zam"? To you then sir or ma'am, Hearty applause, hot damn!	[reply]

I thank you h, for your reply, May you code on, and never die(), To voice my name, (i won't ask why), Think "kh", which you can try. Amongst the things that can be had, There are those things that taste too bad, And in disgust, but not too mad, We say "(y)uuuchhhh!", but not too sad. That "uch" does not rhyme with duck, Because then it would be spelled like "yuck", Nor does it sound like such, As then it would not add too much. Of that "ch", and this is key, Think of "ich", the German "me", The easiest example, i can see, (If there is easier, what can it be?) Now pronounce that "a" a doctor's "ah", Of course that makes the syllable "cha", Now say it twice, but like (the Indian) "tawa", Surprisingly like saying "tada". That is the ultimate syllable has stress, But on the end as you may guess, That simple "m", you must impress, And after that you can digress.	[reply]

What a splendid conversation Where differences rate no mention Gentile maybe is old hat But it's none the worse for that No axe to grind or ire to raise What a refreshing change of pace A waste of cycles? May be to some But then, perhaps, they're just glumb To raise no hackles, nor raucous laugh No feeding the trolls "on our behalf" You grew a smile upon my face I welcome you to this place May your demeanour rub off on me To step outside of me and see the bigger picture; all around To smile, where once I frowned Who gives a monkey's if I misspell If the question's less Perl; more SQL Vive la différence; live and let live T'is no obligation; but a pleasure to give Pure distraction; no purpose in mind Your posts are a pleasure of the purest kind. For the simple smile you brought to my day I hope "Thank you" is all I need say With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. The start of some sanity?	[reply]

Nice. Very nice, indeed! Thanks! You just gained the rare privilege to have your poem posted on my (hard copy) "best of internet" poster wall in my office! Don't use '#ff0000': use Acme::AutoColor; my $redcolor = RED(); All colors subject to change without notice.	[reply]

I know. But we're not allowed to take any kind of photos at work except when required by police and/or insurance. So unless some breaks his leg while looking at the post wall... But i'll see what i can do ;-) BREW /very/strong/coffee HTTP/1.1 Host: goodmorning.example.com 418 I'm a teapot	[reply]
