I guess this goes under poetry... I came up with this after seeing radiantmatrix's sig. 

perl -Mstrict -e 'do {} or do not unless defined &try'

    Erm, thanks and all, but the I think Yoda's point was more along the lines of "either do or do not because there is no try".

    As opposed to "do or do not, unless trying is an option" ;-).

    Larry Wall is Yoda: there is no try{} (ok, except in Perl6, way to ruin a joke, Larry! ;P)
    The Code that can be seen is not the true Code

      Well.. my thought was that since it is a one liner, in perl there is no try.

      If there is try in Perl6 then that represents a change in the way the universe works, and Yoda will have to rethink his Perl. ;)
