Perl challenge

Perl is beautiful
It's just that usually people use Perl for some quick reg ex hacks and just throw some ugly code together fast to get the job done. So people just Perl on this.

Perl gives you the option to code however you want. I challenge you to post Perl code that cannot be made beautiful.

Because in the Real Word™, you sometimes have to deal with legacy crap versions of legacy crap languages. Such was my fate.

Sadly, that's true. Most distros i know have Perl 5.10 installed. And not every customer is willing to change their Perl version just for your app or because you want them to upgrade because of some syntactic sugar.

At least we have given and say in 5.10

Also, COME ON PERL6 GO GOLD ALREADY. I HATE MOOSE AND INSTALL 100's OF MODULES JUST TO HAVE DECENT OOP.
