This is a private quest for all kinds of mnemonics to do with perl.
There can be rhymes, comparisons, you name it ...
If you have ever used any kind of mnemonic to remember a function, a switch or even snippets this is the place to jot them down.

Unfortunately I made most of my mnemonics in German (where they are called "Eselsbrücke" - donkeys bridge), so I can only give a few:

Both were made for a beginner, to make him remember to use -t and use strict; in his code.

update: By private I mean that it is no official quest where the best answer is awarded anything more than xp. It is of course not only for me, but for all ohter users of the site. And it might give additional ideas to those of us that are learning or teaching perl.
I said all kine of mnemonics, and I meant it.
Sorry for being not as clear as could be.
