Thanks for that. But...

Oooohhh. Not sure if I like that...(my emphasis:)

O'Reilly has protected the camel image for books and online publications related to the Perl language, and related product and services. The only reason an association exists between camels and the Perl programming language is because we've used a camel image on our Perl-related products.
Not sure if that was my world view before I read it...

Update: Added first sentence.

This signature ... bleh.

    That's one reason TPF has the onion logo trademark for Perl: so that identifying symbols for the language aren't beholden to any one company with goals that may or may not conflict with goals for the community.

    I recommend avoiding camel imagery.
