Iain Truskett (aka Spoon/Koschei)
Nick Ing-Simmons
Dr Randy
Though there doubtless isn't time for a deatiled history of the
lighter side of Perl culture, for completeness, in addition to
Acme modules, we have: JAPH, Obfu, Golf, Poetry, April Fools.
Some highlights:
JAPH: First JAPH by merlyn 1988, followed later by trickier ones.

Just wondering if Leon has yet received delivery of the goods he
