Finite Automata Question Generator

Ok, this is no great and powerful obfu that will stump users for ages to come, it's more of a funny obfu taking advantage of the plethora of Finite Automata questions floating through the PM... So, I thought, why not get rid of the middle man. No longer do you have to wait for Clueless Newbies(tm) or Oxford Cream to come along and post a question of finite automatae, you can have hours of fun generating your own!

    print "What does Oxford Cream mean?\n\n"; print "Oxford Cream means ".$$Oxford_Cream."\n";

    <Stupid way of asking what Oxford Cream refers to>

    -Any sufficiently advanced technology is
    indistinguishable from doubletalk.

      Oxford Cream refers to chatterbox discussion as to the fact that the flood of Finite Automata questions the other day apparently were from a CS class at Oxford University...

      Update Someone referred to them as The Oxford Cream, but I'm not sure who...

    Very good obfu.

    However it won't compile for me unless I put a semicolon after use strict.

    Update: it turns out that it does compile, but only with older perls. The feature of the strict pragma got fixed out somewhere near perl 5.8.
