So, in lieu of better talks, it might be worth having a discussion about something a little meta to Perl, and that would be community. As a member of the Code-for-NoVA 'brigade,' I have interfaced quite extensively with a slew of folks of varying skill levels, almost none of whom have interacted with Perl either lately or ever. They even tend to look down on the language as 'old' and 'what relevance could it have anymore?' Now, WE know that it is just as good as common stalwarts at these events, such as Python, Ruby, et cetera... so it seems to me, perl might attract a few more enthusiasts by deploying itself into the civic hacking community.
