Someone attempting to decode my perl example as code might become very confused. It doesn't serve a purpose as a computer program. If you approach perl code as always having a useful function, it's not going to push your buttons. I could even see a serious perl programmer overlooking the serious message of the text. Who knows... perhaps I really am asking someone to push me off a cliff... but that's not what the code means. It has nothing to do with pushing a person, much less pushing a person over a cliff. It's simply adding an element to an array. And then, to top it all off, the array doesn't get used. Makes no sense. Or does it?
