Hmmm... interesting. Personally, I think that perlmeme.org does not look
very
bad. In any case, I'm well aware of the problematic design of
perl-begin.berlios.de. At the moment, I'm looking for another design to
rip
(perhaps a skin of a popular open-source CMS, or CSS Zen Garden, or OSWD).
However, if anyone can refer me to a professional web designer who will
come
up with an original design, that would be even better.

Or write-only code, etc. I recall an article about "Perl Myths" on
perl.com
back then:

That was my original intention.
