This poem doesn't stand as an exemplary Perl poem, but since it came upon me while debugging, and does speak of code somewhat, perhaps you will not look too unkindly upon its being posted here... 

while learning to debug some privileged text

a gap forms
between the back, right furls of my brain
and the inner
side         of my skull

after reading another sentence
   or two of the tutorial
                                   i notice
it felt
    looked
i felt light, a bursting light
very pure
and with a striking joy            protruding

it's faded already
it had                faded
           already
                                   perhaps

that    gap    was pushed open by  a
memory   f  a  d
                 ing
    sing         ing
         of glory
past
soon

                i will grasp that  rapture
