"...a Perl Pub is closer to what I'm thinking." But what would it be called? "The Perl Before Swine" perhaps? :-)	[reply]

Well, a brewery is a specialized kind of factory, while I think that a generic factory would be more in the spirit of Perl: actually I imagine a Perl Factory as one which could at the same time brew the finest beer and ship out microchips. Or... chocolate!	[reply]

I voted for Perl Restaurant, but I think a Perl Pub* is closer to what I'm thinking.* D'Oh! A pub!! Worse luck nobody suggested it while still in ideas quest phase: I would have certainly included it in substitution of or in addition to the restaurant. But of course I should have thought of it myself: it would have actually been a close competitor to the dojo. However if you ask me, I would make a hybrid of both, a pobjo? Isn't Perl supposed to take the best from what's around anyway? Train, meditate, find the Way and follow it, and then just have a fresh pint of draught beer, which may well be part of the Way, after all!	[reply]

If it's so hot they definitely need some fresh beer. And perhaps some enginereed Perl camel...	[reply]
