You grep through a list of your body parts,
shooting the bits that look like feet. On the first try,
you don't shoot anything, and realize that you're matching
hashrefs instead of scalars. On the second try, you shoot
off your big toe instead of the whole foot (shouldn't have
used greedy matching in the regex). Finally, you shoot
yourself in the foot, generalize your code to allow it to
shoot anyone anywhere, and post it on CPAN as
SUICIDE::LITE.
Alternately, you post to Perl Monks asking the regulars
to write a finite automaton for you, and get your foot
blown off by tilly for your trouble.

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).
