    This is in fact a system of artificial intelligence that feeds on perl source code. You are the only human being here. It is funded by secret US military agencies and will one day be used to do evil to all mankind.

    Just don't tell anyone!!!

    Oh no, military programmer logging in, I have to split!

    No secret here. Just a group of people that love to hack & code and generally want to help others!

    Actually, the secret is addiction:
    • addiction to caffeine and/or cigarettes that keep us energized
    • addiction to hacking to hacking that keep us thinking about Perl
    • addiction to Perlmonks that keeps us hitting the refresh button on our browsers every minute to see if any new posts have come in....
