Ha! Though I'm finding the road to Valley of Despair is not smooth, fast, or short. It's full of huge peaks and valleys across a 1000 mile jungle trek.

$PM = "Perl Monk's";
$MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate";
$nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

    But I would walk 500 miles
    And I would walk 500 more
    Just to be the man who walked a thousand miles
    To fall down at the monastery door
    


    use constant STEPS_IN_MILE => 2000; # rough estimate based on www.thew +alkingsite.com/10000steps.html my $step_counter = 0; # I'll presume you are just starting out... my $current_state = 'walking'; # but you are trying! while ($current_state eq 'walking') { $step_counter++; $step_counter++ if ( $step_counter/STEPS_IN_MILE > 500 ); # don't +you think you've dawdled long enough? Pick up the pace! (more of a j +og at this point) $current_state = 'fallen down' if ( $step_counter/STEPS_IN_MILE > +1000 ); # do ring the gong before falling, the kind Monks will surely + fetch you water. }
