Perl Humour
From PerlNet
This is a collection of links and resources to Perl Humour.
[edit]
On CPAN
Most of Perl's amusing modules can be found in the Acme name space. The following are a mere fraction of the available modules, there are many more.
[edit]
Lingua::Romana::Perligata
The original joke module. Write Perl in Latin instead of in English.
[edit]
Acme
Acme.pm is a base class for perfect modules. If you sub-class this module when creating your own, it'll be both perfect and spiffy.
[edit]
Acme::Enc
Acme::Enc allows you to encrypt your source code so other's can't read it. This really does encrypt your source code, but it's still trivial to unencrypt it, so don't use this to protect "valuable" code.
[edit]
Acme::EyeDrops
Turn your ugly Perl code into beautiful pictures and UML diagrams!
[edit]
Acme::Colour
Mix colours in Perl! red + yellow = orange!
[edit]
Acme::NewMath
Acme::NewMath - Perl extension for escaping the humdrum mathematics that dorks like Pythagoras gave us.
Reading from the description:
- For thousands of years, we have been plagued by mathematicians insisting that two plus two equals four. Who elected them? I, Stevie-O, am promoting an entirely new system, where two plus two equals FIVE. Eventually, it will be extended to provide other stuff these power-hungry madmen kept hidden away for themselves, such as division by zero, cold fusion, the ability to solve the halting problem, and the secret to attracting hot chicks.

Perl Poetry
Perl is such an expressive language that it's even possible to write poetry in it; as has happened since Larry Wall wrote the first Perl poem in 1990. A collection of Perl poems can be found in perlmonk's poetry section. Here's a description of the history of Perl poetry.

Template Toolkit's Spam
Many people received spam with various template toolkit fields instead of actual headers and content. Here are links to some of their blog entries about it. (Why can't spammers make sure they unit-test their spamming scripts?)
- ladypine's blog entry about TT Spam
- Robert Price's Blog
- Note: there also was an entry about it on O'ReillyNet, by one of the authors of a book that talked about it. Google cannot find it, though. Fill it in if you can.
- Note: there was also a use.perl.org/ blog entry about it. However, I couldn't find it with google. Fill it in if you can.

Books for Learning Perl
<Alexi5> what is a good book for getting up to speed with perl?
<merlyn> learning perl!
<merlyn> intermediate perl!
<nachos_> the camel is the _only book_
<nachos_> :-P
* merlyn bats nachos silly
<nachos_> :-(
<rindolf> Alexi5: there's also Beginning Perl, which is available
online.
* f00li5h saw that coming
<rindolf> You should learn Perl from "Learning Perl in 24 minutes
Unleashed!"
<f00li5h> rindolf: "Learning perl in 24 minutes Unleashed, in a
nutshell for dummies" is the one i have
<rindolf> f00li5h: that's even better.

Timezone'd
<x86> can someone tell me what this epoch translates to in
%Y-%m-%d format? 1202256000
<integral> eval: POSIX::strftime("%Y-%m-%d", gmtime(1202256000))
<buubot> integral: 2008-02-06
<x86> nice!
<integral> note that if you're not specifying timezone you're in for a
world of hate
<integral> err, *pain
<iank> s/pain/butter/
<iank> I will dump butter on you unless you specify tz.
<iank> Also if you do specify tz.
<iank> Fuck it, I will dump butter on you, fullstop.
<integral> don't waste good butter on them, try margarine

CPAN is your Friend (or Enemy)
<x86> gah
<x86> DateTime::Format::Strptime is not one of the core
modules
<iank> boo hoo cpan it
<apeiron> "i (can't|don't want to) use external modules"
<iank> (If only we had some sort of comprehensive archive
network.. for perl stuff.. complete with a convenient
tool you could use to easily fetch, build, and
install modules!)
<iank> apeiron: "oh, but you're a dumbass"
<iank> "carry on then"
<simcop2387-lab> iank! i know i'll call it Ruby on Rails!
<integral> well, it'd be different if CPAN and CPANPLUS really
were convenient.
<x86> POSIX::strptime is not a core module either
<x86> this sucks
<apeiron> Send patches or shut up. :)
<iank> CPAN IS VERY FUCKING CONVENIENT DO YOU WANT ME TO
PUNCH YOU IN THE SPLEEN
<integral> apt-get : cpan :: brilliant : annoying
<iank> this : pretentious and awkward :: 1 : 1
<x86> iank: not so conveinent when you're writing software
to be deployed on 100 servers and you dont want to
have to install the same module 100 times
<integral> bundle it with your app.
<iank> x86: stop failing at sysadmining
<iank> Or that.
<integral> They're also pure-perl so this is very, very trivial.
<integral> We have PARs which are jsut like Java's JARs for even
more deployability win
<iank> woohoo
<mst> and people have this retarded obsession with only
using core
<mst> I mean, anybody who does perl for a living grows out
of it pretty fucking fast
<mst> but there's always colossal whining the first time
you tell someone to get something from CPAN
<integral> But due to my last point, PAR isn't as well known as
it should be
<mst> x86: thanks for being today's example :)

How much Perl do you need
<shishirm1> is pop3 module avaliable only in perl 5?
<jernster> are you saying you use something other than 5?
<icke> perl 4 didn't even have modules
<jernster> heh
<rindolf> shishirm1: do you want to use it with Perl 4?
<shishirm1> oh ok sorry i am comlete nooob!! so i am just asking
you guys
<shishirm1> nope is perl 5 a standard now?
<jernster> yes
<shishirm1> ok great...
<jernster> :)
<rindolf> shishirm1: Perl 4 is unmaintained, unloved,
deprecated, not recommended, and dead - D. E. D. -
DEAD!
<simcop2387-lap> perl 4 is an EXPERL!

<rindolf> perlbot: karma PHP
<perlbot> Karma for PHP: -147
<LeoNerd> It takes some nerve to say "PHP++" in #perl :P
<dazjorz> rindolf: because they have get_magic_quotes_gpc!
<dazjorz> don't we all love get_magic_quotes_gpc!
<rindolf> dazjorz: oh.
<dazjorz> it's a function
<rindolf> dazjorz: love, hate - what's the difference.
<rindolf> dazjorz: that does what?
<dazjorz> to get the value of magic_quotes_gpc in the config file.
<rindolf> dazjorz: ah.
<dazjorz> so they have get_magic_quotes_gpc for
get_ini('magic_quotes_gpc')
<rindolf> dazjorz: LOL.
<dazjorz> plus, there's the magic_quotes_gpc to escape all input a
script gets via POST, GET and COOKIE.

Chuck Norris as a Refactorer
<Su-Shee> 2010 is planned more or less as a refactoring year.
<DrForr_> A whole *year*? What physical plane of existence do you reside
on?
<Su-Shee> DrForr_: there's also bugs to fix and systems to care for and
things like that. it's not that we're locked into the closet
and a year later a new, shiny product is released. ;)
<DrForr_> Closet optional.
<Su-Shee> I'm not a wonderwoman refactoring half a million lines of perl
in a week, sorry. :)
<rindolf> Su-Shee: Chuck Norris refactors 10 millions lines of perl
before lunch.
<Su-Shee> rindolf: hm. that's the reason.. I'm not as hairy as chuck
norris and I don't have a beard...
<rindolf> Su-Shee: ah.
<rindolf> Su-Shee: Chuck Norris also wrote a complete Perl 6
implementation.
<Su-Shee> rindolf: I heard, he already wrote Perl 7.
<rindolf> Su-Shee: yes.
* rindolf wants to be as awesome as Chuck when he grows up.
<Su-Shee> rindolf: I envy you. I'll never be as awesome without a beard.
<rindolf> Su-Shee: heh.
<rindolf> Su-Shee: it doesn't matter if you're rigid on the outside as
long as you're rigid on the inside.
<Su-Shee> chuck norris doesn't make mistakes.
<rindolf> Su-Shee: Chuck Norris corrects God.
<Su-Shee> rindolf: I'll apply as his secretary.
<rindolf> Su-Shee: as Chuck's?
<Su-Shee> rindolf: yes.
<rindolf> Su-Shee: OK.
<rindolf> Chuck Norris doesn't code. When he sits next to a computer, it
just does whatever he wants.
<Su-Shee> I'll tell my boss tomorrow. Chuck is who he wants.
<rindolf> Su-Shee: Chuck Norris is his own boss.
<rindolf> Su-Shee: if you hire him, he'll tell your boss what to do.

XSLT Facts - Why XSLT is Evil
--> xmler has joined ##programming
<xmler> Hi
<xmler> How can I do <a href="$variable">blah</a> in XSLT?
<rindolf> xmler: you can use <xsl:attribute>
<rindolf> xmler: or use ${...}
<rindolf> xmler: have you read the Zvon XSLT tutorial?
<xmler> rindolf: I've read various resources; perhaps it's
the fault of XML::XSLT on CPAN
<rindolf> xmler: use XML::LibXSLT instead.
<rindolf> It's faster and better.
<Zuu> <insert mean statement about XSLT>
<Zuu> :)
<rindolf> "XSLT is the work of Satan"
<rindolf> "It's the worst thing since non-sliced bread."
<Zuu> Hahaha :D
<rindolf> "Mothers used to tell their children about XSLT to
scare them."
<xmler> Haha
<Zuu> That last one is good
<xmler> XSLT seems pretty cool
<Zuu> xmler, no no, that's not mean
<Zuu> you're doing it wrong
<Zuu> :P
<xmler> XSLT is too cool to be mean to :p
<Zuu> Hehe
<rindolf> "XSLT is the number one cause of programmers'
suicides since Visual Basic 1.0"
<tommy_the-dragon> lol
<Zuu> :>
<Zuu> I could believe in that
<rindolf> "The X in XSLT stands for eXtermination."
<rindolf> "XSLT makes the baby jesus cry."
<rindolf> "The only things worse than XSLT are Excel and
sugarless tea."
<tommy_the-dragon> rofl
* Zuu kinda likes Excel
<rindolf> Zuu: yes, it was a joke.
<Zuu> Noooh!
<Zuu> they are all true!
<rindolf> Now I'm out of ideas.
<Zuu> i havent even had a single idea yet..
<rindolf> "XSLT is what Chuck Norris has nightmares of."
<Zuu> Whoah!
<Zuu> wait.. that would somehow make XSLT cooler than Chuck
Norris...
<Zuu> Chuck Norris dont have mightmares
<rindolf> "Confucius e says: 'XSLT made me realise humanity was
hopeless."
<Zuu> "Even APL wont make friends with XSLT"
<Zuu> yay, i maded one!
<rindolf> "God considered using XSLT as the tenth plague of
Egypt, but thought it was too evil."
<rindolf> Zuu: :-)
<Zuu> Haha :D
<Zuu> that plauge one is awesome
<rindolf> "In Soviet Russia, XSLT codes you. Badly!"
<rindolf> "Satan condemned Hitler for a million years of
writing XSLT"
<rindolf> OK, back to work.
<rindolf> C - not XSLt.
<Zuu> :)
<rindolf> "The KGB used to torture their victims by having them
look at scrolling XSLT code"
<xmler> rindolf: lol, love the KGB + XSLT one
<xmler> rindolf: by the way, what's with the XSLT hate by the
way, is it some kind of meme? :p
* Zuu gives xmler an XSLT interpreter written in XSLT
<Jck_true> I wanna make ASM code from XSLT
<rindolf> "My name is Inigo Montoya. You forced my father to
write XSLT. Prepare to die! And be thankful I don't
force you to write XSLT."
<xmler> Ah for gawd's sake. Can't install XML::LibXML, it
says I don't have libxml2 (I do)
<rindolf> xmler: do you have the -devel package?
<rindolf> xmler: what is your distro?
<rindolf> OS distro I mean.
<xmler> rindolf: Debian 4.0
<xmler> Ooh, perhaps I don't actually
<rindolf> xmler: ok, then apt-get install libxml-libxslt-perl
* Zuu have to go o/
<rindolf> xmler: maybe we should discuss it on #perl?
<rindolf> Zuu: bye
<rindolf> Zuu: and beware of stray XSLT code.
<Zuu> I will :P

Chuck Norris and Perl 6
<rindolf> wankit
<buubot> Perl 6, unlike most people, is able to breathe in the
vacuum of space. In fact, anything else would damage its
respiratory system. Because of this, whenever it's
visiting Earth, it wears a respirator, which resembles a
kickass beard.
<rindolf> Heh heh.
<rindolf> Are all of buubot's wankit factoids about Perl 6?
<rindolf> He should have some about Chuck Norris, too.
<merlyn> fictional factoids about a partially designed, partially
implemented, partially wanted language. :)
<rindolf> merlyn: yeah.
<merlyn> Heh - those are all Chuck Norris quotes with s/Chuck/P6/
<dabreegster> rindolf: It's written in Chuck Norris, right
<merlyn> Chuck Norris writes code in Perl 6. Before Larry's done.
And it works.
<rindolf> merlyn: Chuck Norris wrote Perl 6 in a day but then
destroyed all evidence with his bare hands, so no one
will know his secrets.

server's head
* FurnaceBoy chuckles
<ajs> daxim: If you can get that to pass the test suite, then
more power to you!
<FurnaceBoy> Chuck *is* the test suite
<Kattana> chuck norris does not code, when he sits at a
computer, it just does whatever he wants.

<rindolf> anonuser: it's an old joke.
<anonuser> rindolf, DNF and Perl6 together is an old joke?

More about Chuck Norris and Perl 6
<Su-Shee> rindolf: yes, I played with Squeak a little and yes I'd like
a vim clone written in perl.
<Makoryu> Why isn't there one already, then?
<Makoryu> (A vim clone in Perl)
<Su-Shee> good question. there's one in javascript :)
<rindolf> Su-Shee: actually , it's a vi clone.
<rindolf> Writing a vi clone is much easier than writing a vim clone.
<rindolf> Just like writing a Scheme clone is much easier than writing
a Perl 6 implementation.
<rindolf> Unless you're Chuck Norris.
<Su-Shee> rindolf: darn.. he already wrote a vim in perl6?
<moritz_> no, he scared K&R into writing it ;-)
<rindolf> Su-Shee: Chuck Norris is the ghost author of the entire
Debian GNU/Linux distribution.
<rindolf> Su-Shee: and he wrote it in 24 hours, while taking snack
breaks.
<Su-Shee> rindolf: yes, I know - he published slackware under the
pseudonym patrick volkerding...
<rindolf> Chuck Norris read the entire Wikipedia. Twice.
<araujo> the second time includes fixing all its errors
<moritz_> but he didn't commmit his changes, it seems
<rindolf> moritz_: heh.
<rindolf> LOL.
<araujo> Chuck Norris doesn't commit changes, the changes commit for
him
<araujo> :)
<rindolf> Code is too scared of Chuck to be wrong.
<rindolf> It is generated right in the first time.
<rindolf> Bugs are too afraid to reproduce on Chuck Norris' computer.
<Su-Shee> .o(I see a chuck norris release on the horizon... ;)
<rindolf> Su-Shee: :-)
<Su-Shee> we could ask chuck norris if he's willing to promote the star
release.. ;)) (which probably kill the entire internet due to
laughter.. :)
<araujo> Perl 6 - A Chuck Norris like language
<dukeleto> Chuck Norris has actually been using Perl 6 since 1987, and
has been waiting for Larry to play catch-up. :)
<rindolf> dukeleto: LOL.
<rindolf> Perl 6 - Kicks ass like Chuck.
<Su-Shee> rakudo - chuck's choice ;)
<Su-Shee> well, camelia and chuck norris go well together. ;)
<rindolf> OK.
<rindolf> Of course everybody know Chuck Norris is a real programmer.
<rindolf> He designs machines by combining individual atoms.
<rindolf> Using his thought.
<rindolf> Atoms obey Chuck Norris.
