Monk Levels

A reasonable tribute (i think) to the voting/experiance/level system here in the monastery , enjoy :

#!/usr/bin/perl

bless \@monks;
$initiate = recv(MONASTERY,$enlightenment,$daily,0);
$novice   = seek(MONASTERY,$enlightenment,0);
$acolyte  = sleep && eat && study $SOPW && redo;
$scribe   = require disipline;
$monk     = print MONASTERY rand($wisdom);
$friar    = accept(MONASTERY,applause);
$abbot    = seek(MONASTERY,$enlightenment,2);
$bishop   = join 'E','d','i','t','o','r','s';
$pontiff  = push @monks, $improve;
$saint    = 1;

remeber the immortal word's of Socrates who said, "I drank what ?"

Forgive my ignorance, but does not the ultimate level of zen enligtenment suggest `$saint = 0;`? That reminds me of this koan I heard about a zen master, his disciple, and a rabbi...	[reply] [d/l]

you are very correct. At the time of writting a think i was using the "return true on success" logic of perl to imply 1 meant successful enlightenment ... but i think 0 might be better ;) Thus spake the Master Programmer: "When you have learned to snatch the error code from the trap frame, it will be time for you to leave." -- The Tao of Programming	[reply]

hmmm, `$saint = $0;` wouldn't be wrong, either Well, that's my $.02 worth. No, for refunds you'll have to check our customer service department.	[reply] [d/l]

`$bishop = join 'E','d','i','t','o','r','s';` Funny, I don't seem to recall anyone here ever becoming a `dEiEtEoErEs` ;-) MeowChow s aamecha.s a..a\u$&owag.print	[reply] [d/l] [select]

No, you wouldn't have. They are a secretive and powerful group, these dEiEtEoErEs; none who look upon their sigs are ever seen again! `for(split(" ","tsuJ rehtonA lreP rekcaH")){print reverse . " "}print "\b.\n";`	[reply] [d/l]
