 Subject: Perl Fast Facts


 since TPI is gone, Perl Mongers is putting together a new advocacy
site.
 part of this is going to be a section targeted at the press in an
effort
 to make it easier for journalists to write stories about Perl, whether
the
 story is in some ZiffDavis rag or in the Wall Street Journal.

 part of this press part is called "Perl Fast Facts", which will be sort
of
 like the factoids in USAToday - short facts that journalists can build
a
 sentence around, like

 	* Perl 1 was released to usenet in 1987
 	* Perl can connect to most popular databases using the DBI package
 	* The Perl Journal was the first print magazine devoted to Perl

 this is where i can use help.  if you have some Perl Fast Facts, send
them
 to me.  it would be nice to keep them short.

 we're going to unveil this site at the Perl Conf, but i'll give this
list
 a sneak peek before then :)
