JAPHs are a part of the larger Perl community, not just
a Perl monk thing. Rumor has it
merlyn is responsible
(I consider him quite capable of explaining his role
himself).
At the last Amsterdam.pm meeting Abigail gave a talk
on JAPHs. I think I learned more than I ever wanted
to know about them.
There's supposed to be a link to the talk
on the Amsterdam.pm
site, but it doesn't seem to be there yet (I am not
going to give the direct link here on PM for reasons
which will be obvious to people who have been here a
little while).
As for what brings me here, it's obviously addiction.
