Perl a Godsend

[mt2k]

Perl is a Godsend,
A language that can greatly mend.
It fixes many of our problems in computer land,
And sure, C and C++ are a better hand.
But what to use for simpler and/or harder tasks?
And this is the question that everyone asks.
Well Here you go, an answer so true:
When all is lost and you're feeling blue,
One last hope is still there to help,
One last language to suppress that angry yelp;
Use that one last chance, before you hurl,
And pull out that Godsend, that thing named perl.

[Simplicus]

Your words there were none truer ever said;
like healing rain Perl falls to mend the mind
of weary burdens, languages of dread,
and data structures rigid and unkind.
In ancient times, say, twenty years ago
we spoke among ourselves in learnèd speech.
Our powers grew, and just to say "I know"
made normal folk to whisper, each to each.
But Enter Perl, and all the world is new.
In simple truth, in part because we see
the program saying what it means to do,
in part because our thinking makes it "be."
And what about the guru of times past?
Now, they do more with less, and have a blast!
