Not all great literature, just a few fun ones that popped into
my head while scanning my shelves:
# fiction:
eval {die "22\n"};
$@ == 22? print "Gotcha":die $@;
#!/usr/bin/perl
# ... rest of code
@years = (undef) x 100;
use Acme::Bleach;
use Tie::Cycle;
tie my $foucault, 'Tie::Cycle', [-1,1];
# non-fiction:
use Devel::Peek;
# ...
print Dump($gray);
$cosmic->();
use Carp;
sub species {confess()}
$delta = (localtime)[2]-(gmtime)[2];
print abs($delta * 15), $delta>0?'E':'W';
$prehistory =~ /$patterns/
spoilers:
# fiction:
Catch 22 (Joseph Heller)
The Unconsoled (Kazuo Ishiguro)
[no '-w' no 'use strict' == no sympathy]
One hundred years of solitude (Gabrial Garcia Marquez)
Out of Sight (Elmore Leonard)
Foucault's Pendulum (Umberto Ecco);
# non-fiction:
Gray's Anatomy (Henry Gray)
The Cosmic Code (Heinz Pagels)
Origin of Species (Charles Darwin)
Longitude (Dava Sobel)
[it's the general idea, not the accuracy that matters]
Patterns in Prehistory (Robert Wenke)
