Re: Name a Perl IDE - get a Perl book or YAPC ticket

Oyster of course. Because Perl's are created in them! :)

OK, probably not the most marketable name, but I thought the association was appropriate...

I personally believe this is interesting for it's very much in $Larry's spirit: in fact it would have a very strict etymological sense, for Perl "should" have been "Pearl" as we ~~all~~ know. However for some reason Perl's imagery has had little to do with pearls and oysters ever since: the official symbol is as we ~~all~~ know, an onion! Thus... how 'bout `onion` itself? We may even try to find some suitable backronym, but... is that all that necessary? Update: I notice that indeed there have been some other onion-oriented suggestions. `--` If you can't understand the incipit, then please check the IPB Campaign.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
