Yes before I became active here slashdot and use Perl; were my two most frequented sites. The only gripe I ever had about it was the small amount of material that comes through. There's nothing wrong with that, but when you're bored at work or otherwise punting you tend to consume mass quantities. On occasion even the CPAN uploads could not satisfy my hunger.

Also Chris/pudge is very much on the ball as far as editorial competency and user feedback goes.
