Strange Verse:  The Perl Poetry Page of the Perl Monks.

Some examples:

 sub asking_wrong_questions { return true or false }

if ($you = asking_wrong_questions()) {
  $they = not worry();
  sub worry { return $answers }
}

unless ($answers) { print qq!
  If they can get you asking the wrong questions,
  they don't have to worry about the answers.

 for each (@person = ('equal ', 'and ', 'free ')){
$ofttimes = exists ${{'a child wild in spirit',
'that asks:'}}
{'how far do the high seas go'} ?
"for he dreams " :
"a land whereto the high seas lead
in stone that "; print $ofttimes,
"dreams linger still"; do{ last }}
