Hi all,
Next week I'm talking at the local Perl mongers, and I was thinking of doing something about humor/fun in Perl. From the introduction to Learning Perl - (Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister, the main reason for Perl is Larry's laziness, all the Flintstones examples) I thought that there was a whole lot of humor in the Perl language and in people writting about Perl. I also think it could a nice (and fun) topic to talk about for 20 minutes.
I thought about putting in some joke modules, obfuscation and Perl poetry, and also look for more fun stuff on the web. If anyone here has any good and funny ideas that I can talk about, it would be great.
Thanks in advance, and keep the laughter alive
