One day, a novice overheard the master telling a frustrated student th
+at confidence was the key to achieving the Perl-nature. A few weeks l
+ater, the master paid a visit to the lab in which this novice was stu
+dying.

- What are you working on? - he asked the novice, to which he frustrat
+edly replied:

- I'm working on a real-time operating system written in Perl, but for
+ some reason these coderefs don't seem to work.

The master then rewrote the student's entire program logic into 10K of
+ FORTH code, and said:

- Although all things have the Perl-nature, not all programs are for P
+erl. To achieve oneness with Perl is also to achieve oneness to that 
+which is without Perl. This is a great mystery; to understand it is t
+o become enlightened.

The master then hit the student in the head with a 1000-page copy of _
+The Symbolics Lisp Machine Manual_.
