( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I wrote my car in Perl, my project for today,
I started with use gas, and proceeded on my way,
But a friend who's eco-friendly, and perhaps a bit eccentric,
Changed it to require, and Acme::clean::electric,
And that's when things got strange, and all about was hectic,
Though, searching through the code i was not able to detect it.

I wrote my bed in Perl, to sleep upon my code,
I dreamt a fairy came, and turned me into a toad,
I hopped upon my pillow, bellowing, "oh gribbit!"
"If my princess frog arrives, the kiss, but who will give it?"
I woke up in a sweat, and after just a minute,
I fixed a nasty bug, and tons of others in it.

I wrote my house in Perl, to save a bit of rent,
I still don't have the money, nor an idea where it went,
But on that fateful day, when my friend came and arrived,
He found so many bugs, we're amazed that i survived,
Well, there was a patch or two, without a thought contrived,
That worked in the short term, but was longevity deprived.

And that's my life of code, which worked until a friend,
Or unconscious source, showed me what had to bend,
I might just try again, but plan before i do,
To use others' advice, (and check on CPAN too,)
For though it's great homemade, and i do adore home brew,
It usually is better, to sit and think things through.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
