I have to disqualify myself since Mark got his JAPH idea from the line:

	do not die (like this) if sin abounds;

in one of my perl poems.  The 'if' of course was to keep the poem
from returning 'this at - line 24', which would have been ugly,
poetically speaking.  I had no idea there was anything weird about
saying 'do not die (like this)' in perl.

It must be a feature.  :-)
