Thanks for the interesting discussion on Perl6; will have to try some of these cool new syntactical features.<p>I haven&#x27;t had much need of Perl recently; trying to force myself to switch to Python (a jarring psychological experience) not because I hate Perl but because Python seems to be where a lot of the demand is these days.<p>But I learned something else of great importance from this article:  cowsay<p>I&#x27;d never heard of cowsay before but it&#x27;s an amazing tool!  I installed it on my SuSE workstation (sudo zypper install cowsay) and on my Mac (brew install cowsay) and it just makes me happy!  My favorite command is:<p>ls|cowsay
