daerr, a cute slideshow about Perl 5.10.
Maybe a little too cute, though. For the love of gord: don't compare your project to "Star Wars: Episode 1" in the first five slides. You are basically saying "Yay lightsabers Ha ha ha :( fuck we're doomed". *slap* Snap out of it!!
It reminds me of a podcast I heard recently that featured a community luminary giving a presentation on Perl 6 syntax, and stating at the beginning that the entirety of the talk could be rendered obsolete this time next year. Well then! Thank for letting me know that now is a good time to hit the fast forward button on my iPod. (More than that, even; this was the beginning of the end of my assumption that Perl 6 will ever see a release.)
I dunno what it is with Perl people and their rush to out-self-efface each other, but it's not a very good way to win converts, yo.
