One nice thing about Perl is that it lets you be as clever as you want to.

This is an example of functional Perl code courtesy of 99-Bottles-of-Beer.net
It prints out the lyrics to (what else? ;D) the 99 Bottles of Beer song.

Two funny quotes regarding Perl from a book:
1) "You can create as complex a structure as your sanity, design practices, and computer memory allow. Be kind to the person who might have to manage your code-please keep it as simple as possible. On the other hand, if you are just trying to impress someone with your coding ability, Perl gives you a lot of opportunity to mystify yourself and improve your social life."
2) print "\n"; # The obligatory output beautifier.
