Were Perl and Python both grouped into the same category
of re-inventing the wheel? Or is this just the academic
distaste for Perl syntax showing through? I had hoped that
the Perl 6 effort, especially Damian's influence, might
gain respect for Perl in the academic community. Doesn't
sound like it though.

What new and interesting things did the "Them" crowd
talk about?
