Wonderful poem! I'm not familiar with perl, but I am a programmer (I do most of my work in C). I found the effect produced by fitting your words and thoughts to the syntax requirements of this language stunning.

Mee too. I thought it was really radically super cool. It set me to thinking about what one could do writing poetical shell scripts or awk programs. Perhaps dynamic poetry; even C programs....sort of like the little vt100 files people make to do screen animation.
In fact, I was so intrigued by the form, I don't think I read the poem very well! ;-) -- Jefferson Ogata og...@cs.umd.edu University Of Maryland Department of Computer Science
