Perl Limbo, hm? I thought Larry was in charge of all the religious references.

Good point. Anything that tournament-y probably needs to be kept away from other 
tournaments. I still think we could have more non-tournament collaborative golfing, 
though.

Wow! Thinking outside the box!

That's not a bad idea.

%perl -e 'just my $0.02'
syntax error at -e line 1, near "just my"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

%perl -e '&just my $0.02'
syntax error at -e line 1, near "&just my"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

%perl -e '&just( my $0.02)'
Can't use global $0 in "my" at -e line 1.

Hm...

Maybe the August contest should be to get the shortest string which:
(1) includes in order "just", "my", "$", and ".02"
(2) includes no \w characters other than the above. 

No fair using Acme::EyeDrops
