  1. Kinda lame... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I thought it was asking for code as actually Haiku, not just a little poem about Perl... that's kinda silly. Oh well.

  2. Perl haiku from a procrastinating non-entrant by LinuxParanoid · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I wrote a couple haikus, tweaked them a bit, and then figured I'd look at the options again before submitting them. Ah well, too late. I'll submit them to you the Slashdot readership instead. Maybe I can get a Tshirt from CmdrTaco or another 1000 ad-free page-views? Lord knows I don't need the karma. .

    As words from my lips,
    so Perl flies from my fingers -
    Ecstatic coding!

    From God to Larry,
    "Be fruitiful and multiply!"
    Perl coders went forth.

  3. Why? by Onikuma · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just don't get it. What is this obsession of Geeks and Haiku?

    LOL, I thought I was the only one that noticed... but then again what do you expect from people that write ugly code? :) Now I wonder if python programmers had a haiku contest if their's will be nicer.
