All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report

Japanese

We're learning Japanese. That is, the whole of Fotango is learning Japanese. We're a Canon company, you see, which means we get cool hardware and are now get to learn a new language, which is very exciting. Strangely, quite a few Perl people seem to know Japanese. We've had three lessons so far and it seems to go going fairly well. It's not nearly as scary as I thought it would be. This may be because our sensei is hiding all the scary things until lesson four...

It's a jewelry thing

If many Perl folks know or are learning Japanese, I blame it on the Ruby influence. Embrace & extend!

I blame it on Friedl

What other O'Reilly text has Japanese characters in it? :-)

I knew I forgot an obvious one, but not as strongly Perl related, IIRC.

Neither is the Hip Owl.

I would think the Hip Owl is the most Perl related of the three (Ruby, Mastering Regex, and CJKVIP) items mentioned in the replies so far. :-)
