Perl is installed on all Macs. Mac is the dominant computer in schools. Most children have a Mac or access to one. They also have Apache and freakin mod_perl! Kids everywhere are being encouraged to learn programming. Connect those dots and we could produce Perl savants by the million. Why the hell are Perlmonks shitting on this golden opportunity?

Don't forget your roots. Apache is a very high performance web server for 99% of use cases--despite some people's religious devotion to whatever happens to be considered "the best". Almost every gigantic corporation now dominating the web was created by some kid with a laptop in his spare time.

Find a kid with a Mac. Open a terminal for them. Show them Perl!
