in reply to Seeking Perl poetry code that writes poems

Have a look here (ppgen). It is a perl-script which generates poetry, but not perl poetry.

Perl poetry is of course a perl script which compiles without errors but at the same time evokes a concentrated imaginative awareness of experience or a specific emotional response through language chosen and arranged for its meaning, sound and rhythm (Encyclopedia Britannica definition of "poetry").
