I keep a few chickens in my backyard, and I think I once mentioned that I could code up chicken behaviour in half a page of perl. Well, my poetry is awful, but this compiles and runs happily with a standard perl distro.
Cheers,
Paul
use Carp qw/cluck/;
my @chickens;
sleep until $dawn;
cluck $loudly until open $coop;
exit $coop;
chomp $food and accept($scraps,$seed);
shift @straw, pop @eggs and cluck $more;
until ($dusk) {
seek($many,$worms,$bugs);
join flock($other,@chickens) if split /from others/;
tell WORLD,"sky is falling" if $airplane;
}
return 2,$coop and sleep until $dawn;
I can't believe I just posted that.

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.
