As I sit here reading my Perl book I wonder... I ask myelf the question "What is Perl". Yes I do know it's a Programming langauge but what is it. Is it a friend? Is it an enemy? Is it an obstical? In truth, Perl can be all of those and more. Perl is our friend because it brings us joy. Perl is our enemy when the syntax is right but it still doesn't work. Perl is an obstical when you make it one. As I sit here I ponder this question.

By common sense you probably say "What the heck is he talking about, it's just a progamming langauge!". And as I said before I know this. But what does Perl mean to you? I would like everyone who comes across this to reply with your answer to this question: What is Perl to you. I thank you for reading and ask you to reflect on this question. Think more about Perl today. It will help your quest in it.

One person can change the corse of history. One person can destroy the human race. That one person is out there, I intend to find him.
