Beyond the boundaries of language lie art.

True, but that's the case with all human languages--it's phenominally
difficult for most folks to think about things that their language has no
concept for, or in ways that are contrary to the form of the language. Perl
is hardly unique in this, as the same thing can be said for C, or BASIC, or
COBOL, or German. That's where the true art (and revolution (and sedition,
for that matter)) comes in.
