The purpose is not for code review, but to study the patterns themselves and learn how and when to implement each. We'll also of course talk about how to implement them in perl, but I'm more interested in learning the patterns. I've skimmed the GoF book, and it's not light reading. I've found that for me, groups can help me to overcome those little stumbling blocks I can't quite get over. Sometimes all I need is just a little help to get to "Eureka!".

Two minds are better than one.
