updated chomp $input line - thought chomp worked on $_ though. to be honest i barely ran this one through the command line, but yes even so should have either used the flag or placed use warnings as the first statement.

as for shakespearo:

• To fail or not to fail? you're pwnd by the question!
• Romeo! Romeo! Where fail art thou Romeo?
• The Twelth Fail
• If music be the fail of love, play on.
• A Fail! A Fail! My Kingdom for a Fail!
• Et tu, Faile?
• Much Ado About Failing

sub fail{shift = $Coyote ? fail : &fail($Coyote)};
