My general preference is topics that will be of actual use
when programming in Perl.
(Compared to "gee-whiz look what I can" do brilliance.
Anyone who has been paying attention already
knows that Damian is brilliant.)
So I vote:
1. Perl6
Quite a bit further back:
2. New Modules
3. Extreme
Even more distant:
4. Life
5. Quantum
6. Perligata
Hopefully helpfully yours,
Steve

There is nothing so practical as a good theory. Comments are by me,
not Fidelity Investments, its subsidiaries or affiliates.
P.S. Some of his pages have code snippets that
were not visible to me in Netscpate 4.5, but were in IE 5.0
