Crab suggested that I send it anyway, so here it is:
Who is Crab? Anyway, I'd like to thank him because you haven't
missed the boat. I have included your excellent caricature as
shape 'larry2' in Acme::EyeDrops-1.01 which I just uploaded
to CPAN. I called it 'larry2' to allow for more contributions;
who knows, we might get all the way up to 'larry10' :-).
(I took the liberty of removing the 3 lines at the bottom
and left justifying, to make it the same format as the other
EyeDrops shapes).
Extract from the new EyeDrops 1.01 man page:
If you sincerely idolize Larry, you might put a picture frame
around him:
print sightly( { Shape = 'larry2',
BorderGap = 3,
BorderWidth = 2,
SourceFile = 'helloworld.pl',
Regex = 1 } );
where the shape `larry2' is a caricature contributed by Ryan King:

Re: Photos/Caricatures of Larry Wall and other Perl luminaries
A while back (I dare not look at the date of the mail and find
out the exact value for while) Andrew Savage mentioned to me
that he wanted an ASCII rendition of Larry Wall for his crazy
Acme::EyeDrops module.
Well, tonight I made a caricature version, only to find out that
I missed the boat by one while: He already got a picture.
Crab suggested that I send it anyway, so here it is:

### ## ###
# # ## ##

Which produces output like this:
