I've been sucked into Perl Golf. This is my first Perl poem, and it describes my first real Perl Golf experience. I call it
BEGIN { obsession }. It doesn't do anything nifty, but it compiles :-)
BEGIN { obsession }
$bored, @bored, %bored...
seek fun, challenge, & thrills
(y?ou like perl??? *yep*! y?ou like golf??? *yep*!
!! y!ou'll love perl golf !!
...try it.out: join @maili
+ng_list.
next Friday, localtime 6:00... ${time for @tpr[0,3], cantor, kolakoski

write $quick{solution}.
${bless $self for @cleverness}.
read leaderboard

$what,the ^&_)#!@^???
... not even ^close^ my $score? 243.50.
$best_score? 96.36.
seek $ideas, $answers, $clues:

study $santa, get(even), @tpr[0,0..2], past winning;solutions:

Hooray, you passed.
send $solution, wait... hope(ref$ {accept $solution, as-is}),
