Since i can't think of a good way to golf this well, i'll bend the rules slightly. Here's a solution that you place before the couples declaration. It uses command line options, two quotes, and weighs in at 58 chars. Slightly amusing...
#!/usr/bin/perl -l #23456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_123456789_ sub _{print shift()." is married to ".shift while@_}_ sort %couples = ( Fred=>"Wilma", Barney=>"Betty", George=>"Jane", Homer=>"Marge", Peter=>"Lois" );

Update: Ah, err, uh, whoops... LOL! This is a non-working solution. It's really amusing who's married to whom in it though! Sorry about that, apparently my eyesight is going (i thought it looked fine until i retested a couple minutes ago) -- it must be time to go home...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
