Is it just me, or does anyone else envision two kids sitting cross-legged across from one another, clapping their hands, knees, and each others hands as they chant this rhyming incantation? I think this is the basis for a whole new area of Perl poetry!

Nice discussion. I do think I might be alone in using the american predilection for calling a dollar a 'buck' in my pronunciations while muttering perl code to myself:

Matt

Update: Okay, belg4mit did make a 'bucks' reference. I'm not alone after all! Except perhaps with my reading retention skills. ;-)
