in reply to What can bring the excitement back to Perl?

Step one: do something you think is cool with Perl.

Step two: get a weblog and post about the results of step one.

Step three: make sure that Google and Technorati and other aggregators index your post.

Step four: repeat.

Getting added to social bookmarking websites like Digg or delicious is perhaps more important nowadays, as simply being "indexable" doesn't expose you to a newer/younger crowd.

You forgot step 3a "Get Wired to write an article declaring you The Hottest Hacker on Earth."

But in all seriousness, you are absolutely right the only way to increase the hype is to actually start generating that hype and start shoving it down the series of tubes.
