I know that this was meant as a joke, but plagiarism is not a virtue
in the Perl community; our virtues are [Laziness, Impatience, and
Hubris][1].  Stealing code definitely falls under Laziness, but the
truly Lazy thing to do is to document where it came from (so you can
find it again).  By documenting where it came from, you are no longer
plagiarizing (but you may be violating copyright).
