Any of you perl mongers have an Apple TV?

  On Sunday, with a hundred better things to do but no incentive to do them,
  I put together an Apple TV plug-in that allows you to run any Perl script
  you place into a folder in your home directory. (/Users/frontrow/perlbin).

  The idea is this: a lot of people know how to write Perl who don't want to
  learn to program Cocoa. And you can add new scripts from your normal
  office work computer (via ssh) but have them all available from Apple TV.
  You can do date & time, calendars, stock quotes, weather, and so forth.
  Scrape web pages, subscribe to RSS feeds, whatever.
