    Interesting, but like AnoMonk already pointed out I was sarcastically referring to the trolls.

    The fact that the IMDB board and PM were hacked in Perl is just a coincidence.

    I doubt trolls are especially attracted by a (hypothetical) scent of Perl behind the board templates to find new host organisms... ;-)
