I made this tribe mostly because it sounded like a clever name, and partially because it sounded like a good Tribe idea to have geeks who were also into other creative forms like bands, or painting or whatever.

You could write one that would find the sequential letters 'monkey' with anything at all in between them, line up the text works of Shakespeare and see how many come up. -

my $prv = undef;
my @order = ('m','o','n','k','e','y');
my %pos = map { $order[$_] => $_ } (0..$#order);
sub monkey {
my $e = $_[0] eq 'y' ? ' ' : '';
$prv = $#order if(!defined($prv));
my $p = $pos{$_[0]};
if( ($prv == $#order && $p == 0) ||
$prv == ($p - 1) ) {
print("$_[0]$e");
}
$prv = $p;
}
$input =~ s/[monkey]/&monkey(lc($1))/ige;
OK, so that's a bit of cheating - considering the RE does little work, but you could certainly put the block into the RE its self.

Ok. Now write something that will evaluate photographic input and identify each individual paint form, and similar painterly strokes, in the work of Jackson Pollock. ;) -
