Also, Simon Cozen's module I was trying to remember is:
Parse::Binary::Iterative
and the Audrey's module that it was based on is:
Parse::Binary.

I signed up for the bitcard account back when they changed servers,
but never had my account associated with the 'oc' website, so I've
just now emailed support to do that. If anyone else wants access,
let me know.

There was a good discussion about this on use.perl:
http://use.perl.org/~Aristotle/journal/30896

It's been sort of a fascination/obsession for me.
I also agree that although perl can't strictly do the Y-combinator,
I'd cut it some slack and not really count the initial argument
assignments from @_ as 'assignments' (though Perl 6 will probably
be changing that) :-)

The current setup does not allow dynamic content, only static pages.
Someone would need to host the site on their own servers (or some
server that allows that sort of thing).

And many thanks to David for just saying "Hey, let's get together", and 
for putting together these notes!
