A perl SIG seems very echo chambery.  A dynamic languages group would be
more likely to work, I would think.  Partly because it would attract
people who aren't already perl-heads, but it might also attract those of
us who are *already* perl-heads, as it would be somewhere that we could
learn new Stuff (eg from the python folks).  I would be extremely
unlikely to pay any attention to a specalist perl group, because I don't
think there's anything I could learn from it that I can't already learn
from the places that I already do perly things.
