More Perlihews

[benn]

I'm having one of those days. Can you tell I'm bored? {g}

Jon Orwant,
No debutante,
could be considered,
a Perl Savant.

If anyone could clear up the matter of pronounciation below, I'd be most grateful...

Jeffry Friedl (Fried or Freed?)
(when to Master Regular Expressions you need),
wrote the book - he wasn't idle.
Damm! Now it *has* to be Fried-l.

(On the other hand, if it *was* J Freed-l,
I could have used a rhyme like 'needle'.
If you're sew sharp that you cotton on,
Eye think the point of this thread'll be gone.)

Ouch - I know - that 2nd verse tripped off the fingers before I had the chance to stop it.

Tim Bunce,
No dunce,
Wrote DBI,
"Good Job" says I.

And lastly - not strictly a clerihew, but it just flowed out before I could shape it.

Tom Christiansen,Tom Christiansen,
Lend me your Grey Matter,
all-along, out-along,down-along lee,
I don't want my code to get any fatter,
with leaked scalars, return failures, 
loops-c-style, spare "close FILE",
no modules, no POD rules,
and Old Variables lying around,
Old Variables lying around.

Cheers, Ben.
