My idea of Perl Poetry is basically anything in perl that resembles a poem, or translations of poem like things into proper perl syntax code, or perl code that can be read pretty much by anyone like sentances. But of course... this is the loosest of definitions... and meeting these criterion in NO way means it is good perl poetry :) I have no problem with song translations... but too many at once get kind of... annoying... now, what I like is a good <SHAMELESS_PLUG>Fish Dinner</SHAMELESS_PLUG>

Update Of course then there is artistic license... poetry is whatever the $#^& I say it is, oppressor!
