It was a long journey for me.  For several years I struggled with dollars, at-signs, and percents in order to uncover the sheer beauty that lies within the gems that are some of the most elegant CPAN modules.

&lt;p&gt;I wandered alone through this path until I was able to see the beauty where it is.  But I wanted more.  I wanted to be able to create this kind of beauty by myself.  I just didn't know how.

&lt;p&gt;Until today, when I stumbled at the doors of this Monastery.  As I entered here I realized that this should be the place where the light would be shown to me.  I was amazed by the wisdom I could see here.  I was delighted by the beatiful gems of Perl code I found.  I was paralized by the sheer grandeur of the resources available.

&lt;p&gt;Until I was shocked to see that Paco was here before.  Paco, that good old friend of mine that one day said to me that he had a problem to solve and that he would look for an answer somewhere.  And so he went.  Never to be seen again.

&lt;p&gt;Paco, where are you?
