welcome aboard! Cannot much speak to "all the world's a nail", but being one who often gets lost in the depths of cpan, following mazes of twisty little passages, and collecting mods like so many magic wands to add to my bag-o-tricks sure makes me linger longer and come back often. PM's and CLI magick is what makes me kiss that warty toad, knowing it'll never be a prince. Besides who cannot like the language of "many ways to do one thing"?

Sufficiently advanced Perl is indistinguishable from garbage.
