NAME
Web::Simple::AntiquatedPerl - the slides from the talk
WHAT?
Web::Simple was originally introduced in a talk at the Italian Perl Workshop, entitled
Antiquated Perl.
The video is available on the Shadowcat site:
<http://www.shadowcat.co.uk/archive/conference-video/ipw-2009/antiquated>
If you don't particularly want to watch me confusing a bunch of Italian perl mongers, the
slides are reproduced below.

but why
think?

(select(FOO),$|++)
