Matthew S Trout has started a Perl Iron Man challenge to encourage Perl users to become active in the blogosphere. Not many people outside of the Perl echo chamber realize how active and modern the language. A lot of the concepts that trampolined Ruby and Python into the forefront of Web 2.0 have been alive and well in the Perl community for a long time. With the advent of Moose, Perl5 is as serious an Object Oriented language as Python and Ruby.
I entered myself today. The goal is blog about Perl atleast once a week. As I’m splitting my development time between a Catalyst Project and a number of POE projects, I expect my posts to be along those lines. I’ll eventually share my DBIx::Class scripts as well. There should be something for everyone, especially @strcpy! (He loves my Perl blogging).
Look for code related stuff early next week!

while I think Perl is … well you know. Alls I know is, we all need to band together to CRUSH RUBY! There is nothing worse than a hipster twit with thick rimmed glasses and one of those fake mohawks telling me ruby on rails is the best. Fuck him, and fuck ruby.
