This tune has been kicking around in my head for a while, so I couldn't resist. This compiles under strict and warnings, and sorta sums up why I like Perl.
#!perl -w
use strict; # really!
do # to the tune of
'Mambo'; #5, apologies to Lou Bega
our (@syntax) = ('syncopated', 'baby');
sub refrain {
my (%little_bit_of) = ('regex' =~ /(matching) (string)/);
@ little_bit_of{'shell', 'calls'} = `do_that thing`;
$little_bit_of{C} = sub { for(@syntax){
$little_bit_of{sed} =~ s!\\!!g; # "strip backwhacks"
}
};
@ { $little_bit_of{'OO'}->can('be_nice') } =
@ little_bit_of{'lisp', 'lists'} = map {$_} splice(@_);
@ little_bit_of{'rich', 'language'} = ('easy', 'puns');
@ { $little_bit_of{'Perl'} } = ('number' => 1);
return [instrumental bridge];
}
__END__

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.
