Well, enough clowning around. Perl is, in intent, a cleaned up and summarized version of that wonderful semi-natural language known as

Crime, especially crime involving money, reflects the gap between the expectation to provide and the ability to provide… If we really want men to commit crime as infrequently as women, we can start by not expecting men to provide for women more than we expect women to provide for men.

Perl will always provide the null.

The whole intent of Perl 5's module system was to encourage the growth of Perl culture rather than the Perl core.
