Tennyson

I was suprised not to find something similar to this after a super search, so here's my stab at it.

$ perl -e 'not our $reason if $y; our $do or die "--Tennyson"'

(Update, 21Jul) Sigh. As LAI was nice enough to point out, that $do would make more sense as a perl do, which is the actual construct that triggered the whole idea. So, see Re: Tennyson for a better version.

Hmmm... `$ perl -e 'not our $reason if $y; our $s = do{&$_} or die "--Tennyson" +'` [download] I just thought that "do or die" was already pretty perlish... roju++ Update: added `$_` coderef to do{}... I'm pretty sure I got the syntax down :oP LAI `__END__`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Aiyah. Believe it or not, "`do or die`" is what triggered the poem idea. I don't know why I actually used $do instead of do in the post. Sigh. That's what I get for pumping out the unfinished thought just before running to the train for the weekend. Thanks for pointing that out.	[reply] [d/l]
