If Perl Hackers have any flaw it could only be our painful, shocking modesty
Vey amusing post - it's a long time since I've laughed so much at a post on perlmonks. (And it was a very healthy, wholesome laugh ... not my usual disbelieving, sarcastic and cynical laugh.)
Nice !!!
I'm reminded of a post from Karl Glazebrook to the PDL mailing list (a coupla years back), where he suggested that the collective noun for a group of python programmers should be a "smug".
It got me thinking about creating collective nouns for groups of people who programme in other languages.
I thought a group of Java programmers should be called a "wank", a group of C programmers a "claustrophobe", a collection of COBOL programmers an "anachronism", a collection of C++ programmers an "aloof", and a collection of perl programmers a "cemetery".
Not so sure that everyone will agree, but ;-)
Cheers, Rob

A japh of Perl programmers. :P Some animals have more than one collective noun, describing their activity or position. Like a raft, brace, or flock of ducks for floating, standing, and flying. Maybe Perl programmers need multiple nouns.

- Java: a verbocity.
- Javascript: an anarchy.
- COBOL: a shrinery.
- Fortran: a numeracy.
- Lisp: a reDEFinery.
- C++: a commitee.
- C: a memory.
- PHP: a nursery.
- Haskell: an academy.
- Ruby: a rolling-stock.
- Perl: a memory.

:P Thanks! I was doing one of the virtues, Hubris, while riffing on Ali. I wanted to do Lazy, just answering, "Because." But I'm too vain to take the downvotes for the joke.
