So was Perl involved with the initial publication -- that apparently got
the color wrong -- or the revision? Any promotional effort there could
backfire a la the Pentium bug if Perl is blamed for the bug. It might be
worth it to get more details before trying to use this as a success story. 

Hopefully Perl is blameless there :)
