I noticed that too, must have been the weekend for Red Hat installs :)

I thought the quote in relation to Perl was "The duct tape of the Internet". Either way Perl doesn't have any rights to the duct tape analogy, in the RH instance it is just the marketroids doing their thing.

As an aside I was surprised that the Jargon File entry on Perl doesn't mention the duct tape analogy since it has the Swiss-Army chainsaw one, maybe someone should submit a patch!
