This is my first Perl Monks poem (or Perl poem for that matter). I am still a newbie programmer so I had limited options to express my ideas but I am very happy with how it turned out. Please feel free to /msg me about any of my nodes including this one. Hope you like it!!

#!/usr/bin/perl
$perl="hashable_language";
$language{$perl}=
"hashable language"
$C="unhashable_language";
$language{$C}=
"unhashable_language;
print "perl, perl, perl the $perl language. So much better than a $C. 
+When you see a $C and compare it to a $perl you may want to hurl!\n";
$Favoritelanguage=<STDIN>;
chomp $Favoritelanguage;
if (Favoritelanguage eq "Perl!") {
print "hash all you like for end is never in sight, only when the RAM 
+is at the end of it's capacity like THE Llama in the sand.\n";
} else {
print "in this language, hash is only a dream, for only in your dreams
+ will it SEEM possible.\n";
