Re: If perl was a woman...

If Perl were a woman:

I wouldn't understand her so well.
She would shop for new stylish GUI's incessantly.
Command line switches would all start with "-Please honey?"
Her logic would be tempered by occasional mood swings.
CPAN would have flowers growing in its garden, and new curtains to match its color-coordinated CSSheets.
One liners? I don't think so. No such thing.
Golf? Finish your chores first.
She wouldn't need sort, as things would never get out of order in the first place.
She wouldn't be able to execute scripts that require maps.
V-strings would never have been invented; too darn uncomfortable.
She would call her male friend to help whenever a bug is found.
CPAN would be her closet full of mix-and-match accessories.
Use of strictures no longer optional. But warnings will be in the form of stern looks.
She would no longer become jealous of the computer when her husband spends long hours fiddling with her code.
There is still more than one way to do it.
