NICE!!!!

but is sheila really a metasyntactic variable? hmmm, that inspires me . . . .

From this moment forth, i shall cast down my metasyntactic ways of qw(foo bar baz qux) and start using monk names!

use strict;

use LWP;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Cookies;

use constant URL => 'http://www.perlmonks.org/';

my $kudra  = join(' ', @ARGV);
my $jcwren = $ENV{'HOME'};
my $merlyn = LWP::UserAgent->new();

$merlyn->agent('chat_poster/1.0 (' . $merlyn->agent() .')');

$merlyn->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies::Netscape->new(
    file     => "$jcwren/.netscape/cookies",
    autosave => 1
));

my $OeufMayo = POST(URL,
    Content => [
        op           => 'message',
        message_send => 'talk',
        message      => $kudra,
    ] 
);

my $chromatic = $merlyn->request($OeufMayo);
