But I found that it worked very well.&lt;p&gt;So I think the CPAN Pull Request Challenge is a very good approach to steer people to particular projects, without causing too much work for those who steer. At least it&amp;#x27;s a very good experiment to try.</text></comment>

The last time I wrote Perl, the Camel Book was a &lt;i&gt;thing&lt;/i&gt; and I thought it was cool to have the least number of digits in your slashdot id as possible.&lt;p&gt;I find it pretty fun to try to modify code that lives in a world that I&amp;#x27;m largely not part of, this is a nice little impetus!</text></comment>
