I'm not worried *too* much at this point, but I must admit that seeing a
couple sample/joke RFC's saying "get rid of the $'s" did give me a
little lump in the throat. But I have faith in Larry and all the
other true Perl hackers so I'm not really sweating it. Besides, it's
probably a good exercise to first brainstorm, get all the ideas flowing
(bad ones too, because they may lead to good ones), then chop them down
later.

Like Simon said, this does scare me a little...maybe if it's top-secret
you can tell me after the fact. :-)
