The Perl FAQ says:

   7)  What are all these $@%<> signs and how do I know when to use them?

This leads me to wonder:  Is there a non-trivial Perl program that
consists entirely of punctuation marks?  (This is sort of ill-defined,
I would settle for ten or twenty useful lines of Perl code that
contained no letters or digits.)

A friend told me about how the software project he was working on got
cancelled: "The business was estimated at $100 million within 4 years,
but this being an American company, that wasn't good enough -- a year
is as far as time goes."
