Some Perlie
Clerihews for your amusement (I hope) :)
Larry Wall (to some, he's Mister)
Wrote an Eclectic Rubbish Lister
"When will it be finished?" was the question, rhetorical,
To which he replied "when it gets Pathological"
Randal Schwartz, (or merlyn)
Is handy if it's Perl you're Learnin',
He'll answer a question most solemn,
Or just point to the relevant column.
The Damian (not the one fom the Omen),
let the world write Perl in Roman,
Was it evil? Was it good?
I don't know, but *I'd* do it if I could.
and a final two-liner - not strictly a clerihew, but I couldn't resist...
Mark Jason Dominus,
Knows a lot more perl than some-of-us.
Cheers, Ben.
