Edit: Sorry brian d foy. See comments. brian d foy writes in this article, O’Reilly Network: Perl versus PHP 5, that he’s seen a lot of complaints about how hard it is to install modules in Perl.

Thinkgeek is selling a James Bond Stealth Camera. It costs $100 but, still it’s kinda neat. Good for those candid shots of people when they don’t know you’ve got a camera.
