PerlMonk wins Perl Poety Contest

One of the resident monks is the winner of the 2nd Annual TPJ Perl Poetry Contest. I promose that he being a Perl Monk had nothing to do with my judging :) He just got megapoints for it being a Tolkien port (and my liking of it in general).

UPDATE: Mr. First Place (Erudil) just told me that Mr. Second Place is also a Perl Monk, andreychek. Obviously, since this wasn't know, it had no bearing on judging.

Cheers,
KM

And the winner brings up a few other thoughts:

is there a tengwar mode for writing perl? ((x)emacs support would be nice)
what about rewriting The Camel in Cirth and carving it into stone?
is there a version of perl which doesn't use English words but Quenya for it's statements?

you begin bashing the string with a +42 regexp of confusion

What strikes me, though, is that Kevin Meltzer seems way ahead of the time: the document states it's from October 2001 and to quote my computer:

Ha! I would normally say that I was bored of this month so I set all my clocks ahead to get to December more quickly (to celebrate my birthday).. but alas, the date was really put there by CMP since the issue is/was to come out in October.
