    Doubtlessly, Larry Wall, Linus Torvalds, John Carmack, tchrist, and just about everybody else started out writing Hello, World! it's like a rite of passage - you can hardly call yourself a programming "adult" without writing the sacred program. Just a small trip down memory lane... 
    perl -e 'print "Hello, World!\n"'

(display "Hello, World!") (newline)

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc,char *argv[]){ printf("Hello, World!\n");}

public class Hello{
public static void main(String args[]){
	System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}}

      or even the hideous: 10 PRINT "Hello World!" 20 GOTO 10

Hello World

    I just started to take a intro to perl course. So we get the hello world example for HW. So I decided to have fun with it a bit. Below are 2 examples in one script of how to do "HELLO WORLD!" that print a tad bit funky. 
    #!/user/local/bin/perl -w
#hello world twice funky
use strict;
my @hello=('H','E','L','L','O',' ','W','O','R','L','D','!');
my $i = 0;
foreach my $var(@hello){
        while($i < 10000){
                my @letters = ('A'..'Z');
                my $m = $letters[int rand @letters];
                print "$m\b";
                $i++
                }
        $i = 0;
        print $var;
        }
@hello = reverse(@hello);
print "\n             ";
foreach my $var(@hello){
        print "\b\b";
        sleep 1;
        $i++;
        print $var;
        }
