Ah, yes, the Catalyst jokes list, which I created so I didn't have to be
on it.[0]

But really, harmless though it might seem to some, neither really seems
an appropriate forum.

If we were going to have "perl porn" I'd rather it was analagous to, eg,
"food porn" -- drool-worthy perl.  Some of the "Just Another Perl Hacker"
signatures would seem to qualify; or for the romantics: Perl poetry.

[0] Yes, that's really how it came into existence.  Prior to that
    another more general list was (ab)used.
