Buffy (it's a mad world)

PIMP (a guess)

I seem to remember it being ready at christmas. But I have no idea

No idea. It was a reasonable level when the box was bought, but it
seemed pretty pitiful by the time it was set up.

Too many to count.

No idea. But I'd be interested to hear what it was. Hopefully someone
with a fuller archive than me can whip up a quick hack to find out.

My finger in the air guess would be that we run at about 10-15% Perl
content.

It could well be you :-)

USA I expect.

Would "London" be too obvious an answer?

London.pm obvious.
