[oak perl] Puzzle

[George Woolley]

Here's a puzzle of sorts.

A Perl program was shattered 
and all the letters ended up on the floor
except the first line which was unharmed.
Somehow in the confusion,
all the space characters were destroyed.
Noone knows how many there were originally.
(And noone cares.)
Some anal-obsessive nerd (me) has
organized the letters as follows
with the hope that someone
will reconstruct the program.

Your mission, should you accept it,
is to reconstruct the program
for the anal obsessive nerd.

Hint:
It is known that the original program 
was simple enough
that everyone in the Perl group would
be capable of reading or even writing it.
Trust me on this.

Request: Please send your solution(s)

thus giving someone else a chance
to solve it.
