Hey folks.

The following is a commentary on what happens to many artists who have a child. It has happened many times where a very talented artist will produce a work inspired by the birth of their child.

In most of these cases, inspired work tends to be very flat and have no depth. I am mainly referring to musical artists. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

## make coding strict
  use strict;

## variable to hold message string
  my( $message );

## set $message
  $message = "My wife and I had a baby boy.  He is great and we love h
+im.";

## write $message
  write STDOUT;

## STDOUT format
format STDOUT =
  ^<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< ~~
  $message

.

__END__

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
