It is the monastery that appeals you to a certain tone. In here, the monks do not use perl a a mere tool... they breath it, they master it, then conquer it, to finally master and conquer themselves. Such is the power of perl-fu.
Questions can be functional, or philosophical. When you stand there, and state your question. You are surrounded by a big amount of monks. Some snoring, others scrutinize you with their eyes. Most are strict and use warnings. Some have a deep knowledge of cooking in a pan, this oriental c-pan, and can fry a dish in under 2 minutes. Others have lexical virtues beyond what is humanly possible, and continuously raise the foo-bar.

Now if you could step aside, I was cleaning the floors as a daily duty to keep the grounds clean... thank you.
