in reply to Contribute a hack to the new "Perl Hacks" book

I don't like the idea of a book entitled "Perl Hacks". It only perpetuates a common stereotype of Perl and its users.

Perhaps it should be called "Useful Perl Hacks" or something else that sounds more noble.

Update: How about?: Killer Perl Hacks...

    That title was chosen because it's part of the O'Reilly Hacks series. It will look nice next to "Google Hacks", "Astronomy Hacks", "Mind Hacks", etc.
