=== Transforming Perl by Striving for Virtue ===
The infamous three "virtues" of a Perl programmer are not what you have been led to believe. They are bad, very bad. Please [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEWfo9U3uTM view this] to learn more about [[The Real 3 Virtues of Perl|'''the true virtues of Perl''']]: '''''Prudence''''', '''''Spiritedness''''', and '''''Good Order'''''.

God is the Creator and the source of every good gift and talent. The programmer does not create from nothing; he receives intelligence, opportunity, tools, knowledge, and the labor of earlier craftsmen, and is responsible for developing these gifts and ordering them toward truthful service.

Mastery therefore carries obligations. The apprentice, journeyman, master, customer, and user possess the same God-given dignity, while greater skill creates greater duties of justice, humility, patience, stewardship, and care.

The [[Portal:Essays about The Virtuous Perl Programmer|Virtuous Perl Programmer essays]] apply these principles to the daily work of programming: choosing tools, forming apprentices, using AI, respecting licenses, protecting users, earning a just livelihood, and bringing software to completion.

I hope to convey these ideals through this resource, and I hope you can help me.
