Perl can bend steel bars and move mountains. Perl can tie back the
hands of time. Perl is good for the goose and for the gander. Perl can
beat up Mike Tyson with one hand tied behind its back. Perl can make a
rock so heavy it can't lift it.

Perl has saved the rainforests, it has been to the moon, and it has
cured all major diseases. It has exceeded all known bounds. It has
mapped the universe and created an exact duplicate. Perl has danced
with angels and dined with Shakespeare.
