At the start of his talk, he asked for different ways to solve a simple programming problem in perl. He got about 6 ways, but then came up with at least 6 more. After a short discussion, and break we heard David expand on a ppt from the internet called "why perl sucks" and 2 other papers exploring some of the defects in Perl. We had a new visitor to our meeting called Zohar, but unfortunately he had little time to enjoy it as we ended a little early this time
