I'm looking forward to my first trip to Las Vegas! Hope to meet some monks there. I don't post here as often I I used to, but I still lurk from time to time 😜

Good to see you back! One of the few pioneer monks from 2000 still posting ... perhaps most famous for your pivotal role in creating the legend of paco.

On seeing you using an emoji, I could not restrain myself from trying to concoct one for you.

Perl Monk	Emoji	Notes
Ovid	📜🪶	An attempt to represent famous Roman poet Ovid
Ovid	⭕📼	The letter O and a video

Suggestions for alternative Ovid emojis welcome. :-)

Output using kcott's uparse tool

~/pm/kcott$ ./uparse-2.pl 📜🪶

============================================================
String: '📜🪶'
============================================================
📜      U+1F4DC  SCROLL
🪶      U+1FAB6  FEATHER
------------------------------------------------------------

~/pm/kcott$ ./uparse-2.pl ⭕📼

============================================================
String: '⭕📼'
============================================================
⭕      U+2B55   HEAVY LARGE CIRCLE
📼      U+1F4FC  VIDEOCASSETTE

G'day 👁️🍾👍🦟,

"Suggestions for alternative Ovid emojis welcome. :-) "

Having seen a fair amount of his code, maybe:

$ uparse 🐪🧙

============================================================
String: '🐪🧙'
============================================================
🐪      U+1F42A  DROMEDARY CAMEL
🧙      U+1F9D9  MAGE
------------------------------------------------------------

While I don't imagine O'Reilly would have a problem with that, if they did:

$ uparse 🧅🧙

============================================================
String: '🧅🧙'
============================================================
🧅      U+1F9C5  ONION
🧙      U+1F9D9  MAGE
------------------------------------------------------------

or

$ uparse 🦪🧙

============================================================
String: '🦪🧙'
============================================================
🦪      U+1F9AA  OYSTER
🧙      U+1F9D9  MAGE
------------------------------------------------------------

[For those unfamiliar with the O'Reilly/Perl/Camel issue, "Open Letter To Tim O'Reilly To Free The Perl Camel" was the most recent reference I could find. It also includes a lot of background and historical information.]

As a bit of a tongue-in-cheek suggestion to close on, whenever I see "Curtis 'Ovid' Poe", I immediately think of "Edgar Allan Poe", so perhaps just this would suffice:

$ uparse 😱

============================================================
String: '😱'
============================================================
😱      U+1F631  FACE SCREAMING IN FEAR
------------------------------------------------------------

☺️
