We came up with this on the night of November 10 1998 (22Aft3164) among much giggling.
PERL
All I really want is PERL
'Cuz under NT it's PERL
and on Solaris it's PERL
I like the way it does STRINGS
and modules for all sorts of THINGS
and it can read all kinds of FILES
and can break out of nested WHILES
Back in the DAY
Too many tasks made Larry SAY
There has to be another WAY
I have to use awk, sed, and BA-
sic to do all this stuff toDAY
So he wrote perl with no deLAY
and you don't even have to PAY
'Cept for the books from o.r.A.
It made folks SAY
It's too obscure but that's oKAY
and other people joined the FRAY
They liked the scalars and arRAYS
and it kicks ass with rsA
and someone linked it to tK
and on the net it saves the DAY
cause cgi is here to STAY
Ruling The Web To Bill's Dismay
PERL It isn't python
PERL It isn't tcl
PERL It isn't fortran
PERL Or even cobol
PERL
That's all I really want is PERL
Camels, Panthers, Sheep and PERL
/usr/local/bin/PERL
I oughtta whip out my PERL
PERL
PERL
PERL
PERL
PERL
PERL

PERL PERL PERL PERL PERL PERL PERL PERL
