This song was derived from Benefit - Blind Following.

Larry Wall: "Uh He... He is an enemy of our religious teachings."
Tom Christiansen: "I know... You want him... Eliminated?"
Larry Wall: "Precisely."

Throughout the monastery, Eureka's great mystery
"What is the difference between the following R-E?" /[0-z]+/ and /\w+/
The difference, as defined by Nobo, was that both R-E's were different, and one may differ with Unico(de).

The fellow monks stress the use of 'use strict;'
While lamer VB coders categorize perl hackers as sick
Lincoln's Napster module allows me to login with my nick
While I powertrip; ban, muzzle, kill, and kick

Although I'm still young, I know enough to 'use warnings;'
I fill my code with indentations as if they were adornings;
Perl coding is how I end my nights, and begin my weekend mornings

Chorus x2
VB advocate: "I believe what I say"
"That's quite obvious"
Larry Wall: "They BELIEVE what he says"
scratches
VB advocate: "I believe what I say"
"That's quite obvious"
Larry Wall: "They BELIEVE what he says"
scratches
Larry Wall: "And think of it, the people believe..."

In the past, perl could only process text fast
We declare our var without the need for a cast
Now we are all-powerful, and almighty
Enlightened perl monks, alive to fulfill piety

Windows BASIC coders cannot face, they're in denial
While groups of perl coders hack away and smile

In the coder existance, take obfuscation for instance
Flexible coding can eliminate resistance

Be careful, answer the seekers thread right
Or else higher authority will deal you with smite

Do not let the final task get out of sight
Perl advocacy, worldwide extraction and report
We must continue to fight, VB coders retort

Chorus

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
