Test Shows 99.99% of High School Seniors Can't Read Perl

San Francisco, CA - Recent results from the standardized Perl Fluency
Test showed that 99.99% of US high school seniors can't read Perl.
This disturbing statistic shows that American students are painfully
unprepared for life after graduation.

"This shows that there is a real need for a Perl Monk in every
classroom," said Perl Monk Kelly Adrity.  "We've got computers in every
classroom, now we need our kids to be able to use them, and what better
way to learn about computers than to learn how to read and write in
Perl.  I'm glad the budget proposed by President Bush sets aside
millions for Perl Monks.  America will lead the way in Perl literacy."


The four hour test had 2 sections, a simple translation section and a
project section. The first part asked students to translate easy Perl
phrases into their standard English equivalent, and the second section
required students to produce a simple MP3 player in Perl.  "I didn't
know what the hell any of it  meant," said one Senior, "it had lots of
slashes and periods and brackets. It was so confusing.  I'm feeling
rather nauseous."

Perl experts were astounded by the results.  "I was amazed that none of
the students were able to read this simple sentence:

$_='while(read+STDIN,$_,2048){$a=29;$c=142;if((@a=unx"C*",$_)
[20]&48){$h=5;$_=unxb24,join"",@b=map{xB8,unxb8,chr($_^$a[--$h+8 4])}
@ARGV;s/...$/1$&/;$d=unxV,xb25,$_;$b=73;$e=256|(ord$b[4])<<9|ord $b[3];
$d=$d>>8^($f=($t=255)&($d>>12^$d>>4^$d^$d/8))<<17,$e=$e>>8^($t&
($g=($q=$e>>14&7^$e)^$q*8^$q<<6))<<9,$_=(map{$_%16or$t^=$c^=
($m=(11,10,116,100,11,122,20,100)[$_/16%8])&110;$t^=(72,@z=(64,7 2,$a^
=12*($_%16-2?0:$m&17)),$b^=$_%64?12:0,@z)[$_%8]}(16..271))[$_]^
(($h>>=8)+=$f+(~$g&$t))for@a[128..$#a]}print+x"C*",@a}';s/x/pack
+/g;eval

I mean, come on, that's so easy," said Paul Chen, Chairman of the Learn
Perl or Die Association, which administered the test nationwide.
"Teachers need to start with simple phrases like  $RF=~tr/A-Z/a-z/; and
work up from there.  We really need to start teaching this in first
grade if kids are ever going to understand this by high school."

Not everyone shared Mr. Chen's view about the necessity of adding Perl
to early elementary curricula.  Programmers Against Perl (PAP)
spokesperson, Keith Willingham said, "There's no better way to scare
students away from computers than exposing them to Perl.  Even
experienced programmers are frightened and confused by it.  The Perl
lobby is just getting too powerful, and they need to be stopped."

dear anna balint,

For me the heart of this is your definition
- generative and combinatory character
- random and aleatory character
- interactivity
and my work certainly doesn't fall in these categories. The nearest would
be the "generative character" - generated from an input text transformed
through one or another text filter (in this case, perl). Some of the text=
s
are the application of a filter to itself recursively, F(F(F)) for
example.

In this sense, they could be hand-written and hand-substituted. But then,
generative poetry is based on algorithms as well which could be reproduce=
d
by hand.

I don't look at them as poetry, although others do. I see them as investi=
-
gations into language, into encoding, into the political economy of
language, into the reception-structure and phenomenology of the reader,
into the making and construction of sense. For this reason I'm also
interested in the input of 'urgent texts' - I just sent the following in
response to a query on webartery -

"'urgent text' - which also relates to the pascal implementation of a
program similar to sondheim.exe which I did in the 70s - a text which
demands to be heard - a political text - a text whose desire or body
pushes it forward - a text of discomfiture, dis/ease - as if language
had/has that urgency in a state of deprivation - as in a site or
situation of the political economy of language - language of the last
cry for example - or a structure almost toppling, weathering - the
language of the last syntax - the lost syntax - sartre's politics of
scarcity -

structure as well - exposure or duplication/shimmering of structure - its
shuddering -"

- in other words, the input text is critical.

There _are_ interactive works - for example programs written in display o=
n
linux (display is a very very simple interfacing for text input etc.) -
and I will give these programs to others for inputting/processing - the
result, however, is then fixed. In this sense, the posted texts are
similar to those of Mez and the materials from solipsis, etc., that are
garnered for the Unstable Digest on Nettime, and fall under the aegis of
codework.

Here is an example that may clarify things - there is an essay in
Classical Chinese called the 1000 Character Essay; each is different. It'=
s
a difficult text, and a friend of mine and I are slowly translating it.
Anyway, I asked Florian Cramer, who is much more adept than I am at
programming, if he could write a script that would take a text and have i=
t
do the same thing - i.e. each word would appear only once in the output.
He did that, and later I also changed the script. But the original assign=
s
a different value to words than is usually the case - instead of numerous
instances of each word, each word is unique, almost the way a person is
unique. So the result is a different economy and aesthetics, and the
resulting texts reflect that.

I do consider these works art, but not necessarily independent art-works;
the Internet Text as a whole is always in-process, in a making (one of th=
e
old Scottish words for 'poet' is 'makar'). Instead they're resonances for
me, which can both stand on their own, or possess their own fit in the
Text, which like Jabes' texts, seems to be interminable.

And finally, it's the machine that fascinates me - protocols, languages,
filterings, processes, operating systems, code in general - which
underlies what we do, but is rarely brought to the surface. In my work,
and the work of others, the surface and depths have an uneasy relationshi=
p
with each other - interpenetrating, confusing - almost as if the under-
pinnings of culture - all that desire and rupture - appeared back on the
surface, breaking through etiquette...

Finally, finally, the mode of distribution - through email lists (not, in
general, syndicate, of course, but webartery, Poetics, Imitationpoetics,
arc, wryting, Cybermind), is an intrinsic part of the texts, which often
play with the time of arrival, inbox placement, and so forth -
