Ah yes,
Why is a camel associated with Perl?
Is it just that O'Reilly happened to choose
a camel for the cover of Programming Perl?
And why one hump and not two?
I also noticed CPAN Acme::Pony and Acme::Buffy.
Why Pony? (as opposed to some other animal)
Why Buffy? (as opposed to some other TV sitcom)

It's a horse designed by committee. It's not graceful, it's not
pretty, looks like its cobbled together from bits of other animals and
if you mistreat it it'll spit in your eye.
But camels
IIRC There is a certain person who picks the animal for book covers at
O'Reilly and her word is final. I don't know which came first,
though. Programming Perl or Perl's association with the camel.
Book.

Dunno.
It's a camel not a Bacterain (sp?).
