Perl in a nutshell

QUOTE:

When I started out
I used to use it only for my CGIs
Now there’s no doubt
And I’m finally beginning now to realize
It’s like a knife, and I’m like a Swiss
When we’re solving problems we never miss and still
It’s never enough, it’s never enough
It’s never enough, but...
I don’t tend to worry about what other language people say
And I’m learning that there is a whole lot more than just one way
Call me crazy, but it really doesn’t matter
All that matters to me is Perl
Perl 5, in a nutshell
No way is the right way to do it
It’s so easy to write, but
It’s not always easy to read
To read
I memorized all the special variables there in the docs
I ruined my eyes reading every manpage on my colo box
I write a function, I write a test
When I code extremely I don’t get stressed but still
It’s never enough, it’s never enough
No, it’s never enough, so...
Well I fell down
With nothing there to catch me from falling
Then Perl came ‘round
And only its eclecticness stopped me from losing my job, now
I’m OK
And that’s why
