At first I thought it was a kind of initiatic rite I feel I had to pass to feel like a real perl monk.
(And follow the Merlyn's path.)

I even thought it was a funny way to learn new (to me) features of Perl, or at least new way to use those feartures...

But when I think about it seriously, I have to admit that the only reason why I wrote a japh is beccause I want to become :
THE MASTER OF THE WORLD !

It wasn't my first choice, but as I'm married, I was not allowed to do it to seduce women ;-)
