PERL POEM

UPDATE: Made possible by Footpad's awesome HTML skills.

When first you look at perl,
You may feel like you want to hurl,
but when you realize the potential,
you find that perl is essential,
it never stops a growing,
people never need to be a mowing,
it expands like a cancer,
but only in it can you find the answer,
the wise ones use it,
and make people not abuse it,
the monks proprete,
as it creates,
perl.
perl.

  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
