A few people have asked me about my .sig. It all comes
from the talk Why Perl Advocacy is a Bad Idea that I gave a couple of times last year. Thanks to chip for the whole "Perl Club" idea.
I've now come up with a complete set of rules:
The First Rule of Perl Club
You do not talk about Perl Club
The Second Rule of Perl Club
You do not talk about Perl Club
Third Rule of Perl Club
A laptop crashes, breaks, runs down. The hack is over
Fourth Rule of Perl Club
Only two programmers to a pair
Fifth Rule of Perl Club
One bug at a time
Sixth Rule of Perl Club
No Java, no VB
Seventh Rule of Perl Club
Hacks will go on as long as they have to
Eighth, and Final Rule of Perl Club
If this is your first night at Perl Club, you have to hack

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
