You can write Perl in Latin or Klingon:

Latin from https://metacpan.org/pod/release/DCONWAY/Lingua-Romana-Perli... :

  use Lingua::Romana::Perligata;
 
  adnota Illud Cribrum Eratothenis
 
  maximum tum val inquementum tum biguttam tum stadium egresso scribe.
  da meo maximo vestibulo perlegementum.
 
  maximum comementum tum novumversum egresso scribe.
  meis listis conscribementa II tum maximum da.
  dum damentum nexto listis decapitamentum fac
      sic
          lista sic hoc tum nextum recidementum cis vannementa listis da.
          dictum sic deinde cis tum biguttam tum stadium tum cum nextum
          comementum tum novumversum scribe egresso.
      cis


Klington from https://metacpan.org/pod/Lingua::tlhInganHol::yIghun :

  use Lingua::tlhInganHol::yIghun;
   
  <<'u' nuqneH!\n>> tIghItlh!
    
  {
          wa' yIQong!
          Dotlh 'oH yIHoH yInob 
                  qoj <mIw Sambe'> 'oH yIHegh jay'!
          <Qapla'!\n> yIghItlh!
  } jaghmey tIqel!

Congratulations! You have discovered the absolute nerdiest activity on the planet. Writing Perl in Klingon.

Writing Perl is enough.

We must inform the Klingons immediately.

I don't understand Latin at all but I picture a centurion dictating this to a scribe, chiseling into stone, soon to deposit it in a Flintstone-ian rockputer.

I love the Latin one, looks like a magical incantation :)

It's too sad the latin one is not updated since 2001, I would love to use it to write random personal pieces of code!
