    Hmm, I'd put it a little differently... 
    #!/usr/bin/perl -T

while ($world->{watches}) {
  `chmod a+x /bin/laden` or die "trying";
}

    Hi! It has been a long time but I would like to ask whether I could use your perlpoem in a research book chapter I am writing? If possible could you contact me_ tomi.slottedufva@aalto.fi Thanks!

      As you can verify by clicking on the author's name, user jryan hasn't visited this site for 15 years. You should probably try other means of contacting them.

      map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

      In case you can't reach the OP (jryan), you could check if your case would pass the minefield that is called Fair use.
