    And if you don't know what to give, try money. (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, PayPal)

    I just donated. Now you do too, if you haven't already done so. Minimum donation is $1 - you do have $1, don't you?

    Perl is like Pink Floyd.
    It was a long time since it's birth, but it remains actual, with the same brilliant atmosphere and beauty sorrounding it's essence.
    It's a gift for the past, the present, and the future.

      I have to admit, it took me years to adapt to the post-Waters Pink Floyd, and even so, Amused To Death is better than anything those other guys have done. I hope I'm quicker to get used to perl6.
