My most recent happen to be gawk, Perl and Bugzilla (useless unless you have a purpose other than to "learn"). gawk appears better suited compared to Perl. Perl is supposed to get rid of pipes (though still they can be used) But using modules from the command line is a big mess (atleast for me as of now) This is where gawk scores, use the internal variables and functions and proper piping, you can do almost anything. But Perl is still i haven't explored fully, so it most probably is a novice's viewpoint, take it a very liberal pinch of salt.
Bugzilla is a BEAUTY. We had some other bug management called "Test Tracker Pro" (obviously proprietary) and the move to Bugzilla was strongly resented. (More proof that changing to Open Source is more a problem of unlearning, which people simply aren't ready to, even those who had used it for just a few months - I had a hard time convincing them that its an excellent product) I am not sure how LUG can use it (maybe to track events?) but it can be included just for heck of it.After all you get to see how Perl is used in practice, if nothing else.
