Go for it! :)

I'm still licking my wounds from a few months back when I tried unsuccessfully to coax the full script and backstory behind one of the most horrifying "Perl" snippets I have ever seen. I was genuinely curious about the backstory behind this horror and felt the complete script and backstory were required to make it interesting enough to post to the Daily WTF. My evil plan failed when the perpetrator was too lazy to respond. :( :( :(

It might be fun to unearth WTF code inspired by famous Larry Wall quotes, such as "Doing linear scans over an associative array is like trying to club someone to death with a loaded Uzi".
