Allright... I'll give it a try and throw in a couple of silly
ideas. (Feel to (ab-) use any of these if they are deemed (un-)
worthy. (Hopefully someone will post better ideas! :)


1.
Front: "even new mod_perl programmers know to spot a problem,

[.picture of an eagle about to attack some prey (Suggestions?
Maybe something related to a competing product? :)]

and find a way to attack it"

Back:
$ top

. o O ( Uh-oh. )

^C

$ lynx http://perl.apache.org/guide/debug.html

. o O ( Ah! )

*Clicketyclick*


2.
Front: [.pictures of the mod_perl logo or eagle in lots of different
sizes]
Back: "Wonder how to make your mod_perl site scale?"
"<modperl@apache.org> knows, and soon you will too. ;)"

(further down, in small letters)

"(hint: <http://perl.apache.org/guide/>)"


Another idea might be to have a (preferably common, difficult and
short) question asked on the list on the front, and the (preferably
short and elegant) mod_perl code solution to this problem on the
back. Any takes? :)


- Salve, trying to get the ideas flowing...

well, the eagle and Apache feather are off limits due to copyrights (or
whatever).

Don't forget that this is going to have a corporate sponsor, so they don't
want to get in trouble with MS or anyone else for that matter :)

last year we had an obfuscated line that printed RTFM (wrapped in some
mod_perl idioms), which I really liked.

I wouldn't be opposed to using that particular bit of code again.

unfortunately, the most common RTFM these days seems to be "How do I
unsubscribe" which I don't know that we would want to distrubute all over
the place :)

thanks - and keep 'em coming!!
