Any self-respecting monastery needs a prayer book.  I've seen several references to "Hail Larry" on this site, but never seen the text.
&lt;p&gt;So here's my own contribution, the "Our Larry"&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;.  Say this over a rosary before beginning any big project.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Our Larry, who art in CPAN,&lt;br&gt;
Obfuscated be thy name.&lt;br&gt;
Thy code compile,&lt;br&gt;
Thy refs be blessed,&lt;br&gt;
In &lt;code&gt;eval&lt;/code&gt; as it is in &lt;code&gt;-e&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
Give us this day our debugger.&lt;br&gt;
And forgive us our syntax errors&lt;br&gt;
As we forgive those who do not &lt;code&gt;use strict&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;-w&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
And lead us not into tainted code,&lt;br&gt;
But deliver us from &lt;code&gt;malloc&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
For thine is the laziness,&lt;br&gt;
And the impatience,&lt;br&gt;
And the hubris,&lt;br&gt;
&lt;code&gt;while 1&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;small&gt;&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;Fellow Christians, please take this in the spirit it was intended: a joke.&lt;/small&gt;</field>
