I like the poem as such, ++. It could have been more Perlish though, in particular, the third line has much potential - something like:

open +(my $heart and $brings), $me . $a . new Live;
[download]

Although for much of the other lines you'll probably have to make a tradeoff between making it read like an actual poem or translating the meaning of the lines into compilable Perl.

Makeshifts last the longest.
