Ever had one of those navel gazing days?

<navel gazing>

Recently I had been thinking more and more about what I really want to do with my life (what would I do if I was not a programmer? would I be happier or sadder? blah, blah,...).

So, eventually I came to the conclusion that I should just relax, let myself fall into whatever is coming my way: just let free will or self decide my path and role in life.

I thought this might be a good time to try my first Perl poem. It is supposed to show how at first thinking about this caused me concern, and then BEGINing to relax and just let myself determine my own path and role; not to worry too much.
It compiles, the idea is that you execute it. 

#!perl -w                               
package Role                    ;       
use warnings::register          ;       
require strict,@Role::ISA       =qw{    
warnings                        };      
                                        
sub new                         {       
my($thought,$path               ,       
$God,                           )=@_;   
my($self) = $thought            ->
