Perl alphabet
- The Ballad of Tim Toady
- A is for array which is not a list.
- B is for binary and the data I’ve missed.
- C is for chomp to eat my line ending.
- D for debug, my code’s troubles unending.
- E is eval which I use with glee.
- F is fsck’d because evaled code bit me.
- G is for goto—design shortcuts? Hooray!
- H is for hash, AKA “associative array.”
- I is for int, the math of the slacker.
- J is for Just Another, as in Perl Hacker.
- K is for keys, reverse them for values.
- L is list context, wantarray is what I’ll use.
- M is for map’ing my lists with ease.
- N is for not or bang if you please.
- O is for open which I always verify.
- P stands for PERL only when camels fly.
- Q is for qx because backticks are confusing.
- R for rand keeps my statistics amusing.
- S is to s/ubsti/tut/e, dot-star is too greedy.
- T for tr///, makes my code speedy.
- U is unpack and keeps me from guru status.
- V is vec which also gives me Perl flatus.
- W is for Wall, the patron whose code we share.
- X is for for the variable named without care.
- Y is tr for there’s more than one way to do it.
- Z went unused but I’m sure Perl 6 will see to it.
