I am not trying to discourage you from presenting Perl. Just try  
putting it into context.  Remember the crowds reaction when Guido  
said, "Perl is not that bad." Are you going for the shock value or do  
you really want to show us something?

I think we should always use the right hammer for a job. In one case  
I found Perl was a better hammer for a particular task. Although now  
I can not read what I wrote, the idea is to use the right tool for  
the job. In fact, this basis is what lead me to Python; I was looking  
for the right tool for a job.
