Perl Masons
The document proposes that instead of marketing Perl to gain more programmers, the community should become more exclusive like a secret society called the Perl Masons. It suggests the community have secret monthly meetings where arcane Perl knowledge is passed on, obscure websites, and increased coolness by being underground and exclusive with a secret handshake. The document argues this would be better than mainstream popularity and gaining more programmers, both good and bad.
