Interesting.  It was only when Ade knocked up that draft design that I
noticed the 'what is perl' text which has (presumably) been on the front
page of perl.org for a while now has a rather broken second sentence.

The reason I noticed is because when looking at the draft, I saw and
read that text first, due to its prominent styling and placement -
unlike on the real site where it's hidden off to one side.
