Here’s mine: <img alt="beginner code c1998" src="/dumpster-fire.jpg"/>. But seriously, folks, I don’t have any handy… without trying to get an old drive to boot. I think this facsimile faithfully sums up the major issue(s) with my earliest production code and has much shorter line-wraps and better variable names to boot!

for my $what ( keys %should_have_been_an_array )
{
    for my $the ( keys %{$should_have_been_an_array->{$what}} )
    {
        $some_magic_switch_used_later_probably = 1 if fullmoon($the->{
+halfmoon});
        for my $hell ( keys %{$should_have_been_an_array->{$what}->{$t
+he}} )
        {
            my $readable = $should_have_been_an_array->{$what}->{$the}
+->{$hell};
            for my $are ( keys %{$readable} )
            {
                for my $you ( keys %{$readable->{$are}} )
                {
                    my @sorted = _some_other_thing(%{$readable->{$are}
+{$you}});
                    for my $doing ( @sorted )
                    {
                        if ( $doing )
                        {
                            # …
                        }
                        elsif ( $doing->{some_shim_not_in_the_actual_d
+ata} ||
                                $should_have_been_an_array->{$what}{SK
+IP} )
                        {
                            # …
                        }
                        elsif ( $thirteen_elsifs_later_without_an_else
