I'd have thought that even intermittent use of Perl should turn up
a minimum of one 'interesting' in a two month period.
The intention was that if everyone thinks of one five minute topic
then we've got a least half an hour of wide ranging subject matter.

If we do it again, I'll back off on the bully boy tactics. I just
think that it's the sort of thing that only works if people have
had a bit of a think about it before hand. The last thing we
