This code transforms perl error messages into something more
pleasing to the eye: a Larry Wall witticism!

By default, one of seven witticisms is randomly displayed, though you may
ask to see a specific witticism by giving a command line argument of 1-7.
Since this program depends on the precise wording of perl's error messages,
you might brand it fragile in the extreme. However, I've tested it
with perl 5.005, 5.6.0, 5.6.1 and 5.8.3 and found no problems so far.
Here's hoping the wording of these carefully chosen perl error messages
does not change in future versions of perl. :-)
