I'm agree with Ovid.Martial Art and Perl sometimes or mostly alike.The skills that you learn during the Martial Art can be applied to the programming too.Although I don't learn Kung Fu,I practise Silat which is famous in my country,Malaysia.The feeling I got when succeeding accomplishing any part of silat such as summersault ,back summersault etc is the same when I have succeed to solve the problem in Perl. The main thing I like Perl is because I feel the total power control of it.Although I realizes that there are many programming languages which are more practical,faster and easier to use etc,but there are the power feel when I use Perl.It mainly because,Perl is free and does not been control by any other organization or company,unlike other languages nowaday.In my final year project,I would like to use Perl,C,C++ and Linux to do my thesis. In Silat ,our sifu is called Mahaguru,in Perl,the sifu is Larry Wall. There are many things you can explore what your body can do when you practise Martial Art although it is just your finger.It's the same as you can do may things with Perl languages although it is just a dot. The powerful weapon in Silat is keris which is the uniqueness of Silat.In perl,the most powerful features is REGEX which is the the things that most distinguish Perl than other languages.There are also many types of Silat such as the Tiger style,Dragon style,Eagle style etc. If you do one wrong step during Silat practising,you may get injury especially when practising with weapons.In Perl,if you manipulate the syntax carelessly,you may end up figuring 'hey,where is my perl directory?', especially when you doing things with rm,cp,mv etc.But,there are many ways to overcome such problems. My conclusion is most Martial Arts in this world is also TMTOWTDI like Perl. For my friends,who would like to know more about Silat,you can go to
