I fell in love when I saw Lingua::Romana::Perligata - it summed up for me a lot of what I enjoyed about perl. I even mailed TheDamian to enthuse about it (and d*** near offered to have his babies). I never got around to actually doing any until now though. I know it's a bit of an obfu cheat, but it's all good encouraging fun, and I've included a readmore breakdown for non-perligaties. The output is an ancient bit of Latin nonsense used in card trickery.

use Lingua::Romana::Perligata; mutuso MUSTCODEINPERLIGATA inquementum da. nullum tum unum tum tres tum unum tum duo tum sex tum septem tum sex tum octo tum tres tum novem tum quinque tum nullum tum septem tum novem tum quattuor tum quinque tum quattuor tum octo tum duo nomenis da. counto nullum da. per quisque indexum in nomenis fac sic mutusum tum indexum tum unum excerpementum scribe egresso. nisi counto preincrescementum tum quinque recidementum fac sic scribe egresso novumversum cis cis
$mutus = "MUSTCODEINPERLIGATA"; @nomen = (0,1,3,1,2,6,7,6,8,3,9,5,0,7,9,4,5,4,8,2); $count =0; foreach $index(@nomen) { print substr($mutus,$index,1); unless (++$var %5) { print "\n"; } }

How could *anyone* ever think TheMan was evil? :)
Have Fun
