It is interesting, that your thinking in general can affect the code you produce. I am only a beginner at perl, however, I received light in this vision of Optimistic Expression through Perl.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# This dawned on me, that you can tell a persons
# outlook on life, based upon the way they use their
# Regular expressions.
#
#########################################
use strict; #philosophy
my $answer = 555;
# watch the mind of a pessimist, always thinking
# negative.
if ($answer !~ /\d+/) {
print "Pessimist";
}
# Now the optimist
if ($answer =~ /\d\d\d/) {
print "Optimist";
}
print "\nTest your Perl monk friends, do they always think negative?\n
+";

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
