Matt Foley: Now, young man, what do you want to do with your life?
Brian: (nervous) I.. actually, Matt.. I kinda wanna be a perl programmer..
Matt Foley: We-e-e-elll.. la-de-freakin'-da! We've got ourselves a programmer here! ( jumps across the room ) Hey, Dad, I can't see real good.. ( lifts his glasses off and on his face ) ..is that Larry Wall over there?
Dad: Well, actually, Matt.. Ellen and I have encouraged Brian in his programming.
Matt Foley: Dad, I wish you could just shut your big yapper! ( stumbles back across the room ) Now, I wonder.. Brian, from what I've heard, you're using your ORA books, not for "Learning Perl Programming", but for rolling doobies!! You're gonna be doing a lot of doobie-rolling when you're living in a van down by the river!

I could have done better, but I just wanted to do it...

• 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.
