Back in university I did a double major in Computer Science and Literature (there were not many in both programs!). I used to write Perl Poetry for fun, not many Haiku's mind you, I tried to make my poems dual purpose, poetry, and perform real work.
I actually wrote a Perl Poetry CGI script, check the results
And the source (open!)
