This is a private quest for all kinds of mnemonics to do with perl.
There can be rhymes, comparisons, you name it ...
If you have ever used any kind of mnemonic to remember a function, a switch or even snippets this is the place to jot them down.

Unfortunately I made most of my mnemonics in German (where they are called "Eselsbrücke" - donkeys bridge), so I can only give a few:

  • -t spells minus trouble
  • strict is like a policeman - protects everybodys property (gaining property in Perl is simple, just say its yours)
Both were made for a beginner, to make him remember to use -t and use strict; in his code.

update: By private I mean that it is no official quest where the best answer is awarded anything more than xp. It is of course not only for me, but for all ohter users of the site. And it might give additional ideas to those of us that are learning or teaching perl.
I said all kine of mnemonics, and I meant it.
Sorry for being not as clear as could be.

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.
