Well, our dev department has a guitarist, a bassist and a singer. If you know a Perlhead drummer, please send them our way (seriously - we're hiring right now in Santa Monica :). Then we could make a Perl band a reality. I already have the lyrics for the first verse of the first song ('pink slip': a song about a guy who ignores the following and ends up wearing a dress - or something like that :): use strict, use warnings, taint check, turn it on, never trust, user input do this and you can't go wrong. cLive ;-)	[reply]

I take it, the drummer needs to play a certain drumkit brand ? ;) -- b10m All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.	[reply]

lol I wouldn't dream of forcing that option :) Coincidentally, Pearl St in Santa Monica is roughly the same distance from my house as it is from tilly's. I'm actually convinced that Santa Monica is one of the geekiest towns in the US. I mean, we have Pearl (OK, they read the "and" as non-silent, but so what :) We also have Pico Blvd (great editor), Pine St (great shell mail client :) and Raymond Ave (Ahh, Eric). cLive ;-)	[reply]

jeffa, his home-node pic used to be a graph of the combinatorics of some sounds. `-- I'm not belgian but I play one on TV. On dit que je parle comme un belge aussi.`	[reply]

I was hanging around the Chatterbox when holli floated this idea, and I regretfully admitted it was right up my alley. With apologies to the Rolling Stones, I respectfully submit the following as a sample of the cringe-inducing parodies I can provide for such a project. It's a first draft, so there are likely a few bugs in here ;^) Rolling Stones Waiting On A Friend Watching zombies piling up It ain't the latest thing I'm just looping in a &REAPER I'm just trying to make some sense Out of the exit codes from wait() The tales they tell of kids I'm not waiting on a process I'm just waiting on a PID A PID relieves -1 causes grief Remember what I said I'm not waiting on a process I'm just waiting on a PID I'm just waiting on a PID Don't need backticks Don't need no exec() Don't need a system call But I need POSIX happy forking I need a working $SIG{CHLD} Making kids and waiting pids It is a game for youth But I'm not waiting on a process I'm just waiting on a PID Next up (provided this doesn't result in my monk status being revoked) is a "Sweet Child of Mine" knock-off. ~Jeff	[reply]

While contributions are always welcome, perlmonks.org does not presently have expenses. Our hosting is donated by the wonderful Pair, and our administration is done by volunteers. So I'd recommend donating to the Yet Another Society general fund, who I am sure can find a good home for it. Warning: Unless otherwise stated, code is untested. Do not use without understanding. Code is posted in the hopes it is useful, but without warranty. All copyrights are relinquished into the public domain unless otherwise stated. I am not an angel. I am capable of error, and err on a fairly regular basis. If I made a mistake, please let me know (such as by replying to this node).	[reply]

Maybe you could enlist pudge the intrepid use.perl maintainer to help out. You can sample his tunes at his dot mac page.	[reply]

Well, I actually like your 'If I had a hammer' version :-P. Here's one from my all-time favorite band (and one of my all-time favorite songs): Still coding after all these years I met my old lover on PM last night He seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled And we talked about some old bugs And we drank ourselves some beers Still coding after all these years I'm not the kind of geek who tends to OOP I seem to lean on procedural style And I ain't no fool for Perl poems that whisper in my ears Still coding after all these years Still coding after all these years Four in the morning, I'm tapped out and yawning Longing my script away I never worry, why should I? It's all gonna crash Now I scroll in Vim and I watch the lines go by I fear I'll lose my Camel one fine day But I would not be convicted by a jury of my peers Still coding after all these years Still coding Still coding Still coding after all these years Simon and Garfunkel - Still crazy after all these years	[reply]

Not perlish, but since you started with an example about spamming, there is a hysterical parody about the spammer Tom Gartman on news.admin.net-abuse.email. The Google URL for the thread is: Archived in Google Groups here. The parody itself is: Spam Oddity Ground Control to Gartman, Tom Ground Control to Gartman, Tom Drop that chicken bone and turn your modem on Ground Control to Gartman, Tom Commencing spamrun, logging on. Rape those relays and may KFC be with you Spam, Nine, Eight, Spam, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One, Spam This is Ground Control to Gartman, Tom You've really put on weight And the cabal want to know whose links you share Now it's time to run your ratware if you dare. "This is Gartman, Tom to Ground Control, I'm harvesting some more and I'm spamming in a most peculiar way and the larts look very different today. For here Am I sitting in a trailer Far from the backbone. My nads are turning blue And there's nothing I can do. Though I'm past one hundred thousand mails, Those mallets make me ill. And I think dev null is where my spam must go. Tell money I love it very much, it shows." Ground Control to Gartman, Tom Your IP's dead, there's something wrong. Can you ping me Gartman, Tom? Can you ping me Gartman, Tom? Can you ping me Gartman, Tom? Can you ... "Here I'm loafing round my trailer, RBL'd from spew-spew My packets don't get through And there's nothing I can do." (K) Dave Korn 2001 Some of the NANAE references may seem obscure to some monks. If it's about a spammer, it's safe to assume that it's not complimentary. Hid long url - dvergin 2005-04-04	[reply]
