it came up at work...
perl is my hammer; i shall not be screwed.
or from YAPsalms:

Stricture is my shepherd, I shall be warned.

It maketh me to declare my variables and leadeth me away from unclear references.

It restoreth my good habits: it leadeth me in the paths of righteouness for my sanity's sake.

Yea, though I code through the VPN with latency and dropped packets, I will fear no typos: for thou art with me; strict vars and strict subs they cover me.

Thou preparest my webpage in the presence of mod_php; thou anointest my module with interoperability; my plate is full.

Surely goodness and accuracy shall work with me in all the scripts of my life, and I will use strict in the house of perl forever.
