in reply to Perl Pope?

Nahh. If we have a Perl Pope we'll then have to parade him around in a bullet proof car. Have him bless all perl programs and programmers. Help him get around so he doesn't fall all over himself. And be prepared to preserve his body to such a state that he'll look as if he wasn't dead when he dies.

Now how much is that going to cost PM? <G>

    The cost of the PerlPopeMobile could be defrayed by the selling of relics.

    Certainly the *aquiring* of these saintly artifacts would slim down the supposedly burgeoning number of the annoited. It's been a great money maker over the years for the Roman Office....

    *Knock

    A slightly disheveled merlyn opens the door.

    "'elo, are you a certain person known as merlyn, who posts regularly on
    www.perlmonks.org"

    "..ummm. Yes. So?"

    "Right. We understand you have obtained the level of sainthood and have
    come to collect relics."

    "Excuse me?"

    "Right Sir. Now don't be difficult..." checking clipboard "...we need your right
    leg from the knee joint down. The PerlPopeMobile needs a new set of tyres. Now
    now sir, no need to be like that, won't take a moment"..."

    Then again, maybe the system works just fine as it is..
