Ah, a message on this list! I too am a recent subscriber. Is anyone else 
out there? If we get a decent number of replies, we *should* organize 
something.

In the meantime, go and amuse yourselves by looking at my open-source 
(alpha) Perl ORB. It seems to talk to the C++ CORBA ORBs that I've tried 
(ORBacus, omniORB, and TAO). You can write CORBA clients, or implement 
CORBA servers! Eventually I'll add support for value types and we'll be 
able to talk to those pesky Enterprise Java Beans, or even implement 
them. Huzzah!

I'm not willing to announce it too widely yet, but I'd appreciate some 
feedback, even of the "I can't get this silly thing to work" variety :) 
And I haven't had much yet feedback yet, so either it's perfect, or it 
doesn't work for anyone else at all.
