Perl of Wisdom

This is for the spiritual geek in all of us: a copy of the Lord's Prayer that compiles in Perl.

#perl of_wisdom

open(Matthew6,$0); {print <Matthew6>;}

our %father; $who = "in heaven";
bless \$thy[name];

for ($earth .. $heaven) {
$thy[kingdom] + $come;
$thy[will] = $done;
}

sub mit { our $bread = localtime(today);

foreach $sin (@us) {
undef my $sin
if my $forgive;

return if $temptation or $evil; }}


for ( $thine = $kingdom and $power and $glory) {
for ($ever and $ever) {}; }

  1. Good to know I'm not the only crazy one. Found this on the 'Net. http://www.dbforums.com/archive/index.php/t-849288.html

    PRAYER:

    my $Lord = my $shepherd;
    my $wants = {};

    for ( ever,
    let, me ) { sleep in,
    green, pastures
    and send me, beside,
    still, waters
    and my $soul = restored; }

    send me,
    in, righteousness;
    for ( your, names, sake ) {

    do stay if I;
    seek ( death and shadow
    and I, shall,
    fear ); not evil;
    for ( $you = with, me, your )
    { rod and $staff = my $comfort }

    Goodness and mercy;
    shall follow me
    until all, days
    and I; do last }
    for (ever and ever,
    in, Gods ) { house }

  2. This is even better:

    char*lie;

    double time, me= !0XFACE,

    not; int rested, get, out;

    main(ly, die) char ly, **die ;{

    signed char lotte,


    dear; (char)lotte--;

    for(get= !me;; not){

    1 - out & out ;lie;{

    char lotte, my= dear,

    **let= !!me *!not+ ++die;

    (char*)(lie=


    "The gloves are OFF this time, I detest you, snot\n\0sed GEEK!");

    do {not= *lie++ & 0xF00L* !me;

    #define love (char*)lie -

    love 1s *!(not= atoi(let

    [get -me?

    (char)lotte-


    (char)lotte: my- *love -

    'I' - *love - 'U' -

    'I' - (long) - 4 - 'U' ])- !!

    (time =out= 'a'));} while( my - dear

    && 'I'-1l -get- 'a'); break;}}

    (char)*lie++;


    (char)*lie++, (char)*lie++; hell:0, (char)*lie;

    get *out* (short)ly -0-'R'- get- 'a'^rested;

    do {auto*eroticism,

    that; puts(*( out

    - 'c'

    -('P'-'S') +die+ -2 ));}while(!"you're at it");


    for (*((char*)&lotte)^=

    (char)lotte; (love ly) [(char)++lotte+

    !!0xBABE];){ if ('I' -lie[ 2 +(char)lotte]){ 'I'-1l ***die; }

    else{ if ('I' * get *out* ('I'-1l **die[ 2 ])) *((char*)&lotte) -=

    '4' - ('I'-1l); not; for(get=!


    get; !out; (char)*lie & 0xD0- !not) return!!

    (char)lotte;}


    (char)lotte;

    do{ not* putchar(lie [out

    *!not* !!me +(char)lotte]);

    not; for(;!'a';);}while(

    love (char*)lie);{


    register this; switch( (char)lie

    get - !out;

    if (not--)

    goto hell;

    exit( (char)lotte);}

  3. And the most lyric:

    #!/usr/bin/perl
    APPEAL:
    listen (please, please);
    open yourself, wide;
    join (you, me),
    connect (us,together),
    tell me.
    do something if distressed;
    @dawn, dance;
    @evening, sing;
    read (books,$poems,stories) until peaceful;
    study if able;
    write me if-you-please;
    sort your feelings, reset goals, seek (friends, family, anyone);
    do*not*die (like this)
    if sin abounds;
    keys (hidden), open (locks, doors), tell secrets;
    do not, I-beg-you, close them, yet.
    accept (yourself, changes),
    bind (grief, despair);
    require truth, goodness if-you-will, each moment;
    select (always), length(of-days)

  4. #!/usr/bin/perl

    open Matthew6, $0 ; print <Matthew6>;

    our $Father, who, art-in-heaven;
    hallowed: be.Thy.name;
    thy: kingdom-come;
    thy: will-be-done;
    on-earth, as-it-is-in-heaven;
    give: us, today, our $daily-bread
    and forgive us our $tresspasses,
    as we forgive forgive those who trespass against us
    and lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from evil. Amen
