Partly OT: name suggestion

[Michele Dondi]

I would like to write some articles on Perl techniques[1] (mostly
inspired by threads from this ng) and upload them to a web page. Now,
I'd like to call the "project" something like 'Perl-Justu'[2], but as
far as the exact name goes I can't make up my mind: here are some
possibilities:

PerlJutsu
perljutsu
Perl-Jutsu
Perl::Jutsu # because of Perl-ishness!
etc.

Any suggestion? Preferences?


[1] Please note that I'm not attempting at writing yet another
(awful) tutorial nor a cookbook: these will constitute more a kind of
blog, if you want to give it a name.

[2] Be ready to expect puns on 'Perl-Do' too! ;-)


TIA,
Michele

AFAIK 'jutsu' can be translated as technique and skill, so it's
appropriate. I guess the Perlishness should be preferred.

PerlKwonDo? I.e. the way of Perl and the fist? Hm.

Not really. I was thinking of Jujitsu and Judo. Now this is getting
really OT, so we may continue by mail, if you like. You can write me
at <ti tod nfni tod im tod mcl ta razalb>.

However for completeness, when Mr. Kano founded his own school, in
1882, even if it was inspired by many jujutsu schools, especially Kito
ryu and Tenshin Shin'yo ryu (hope to have spelled them correctly!), He
decided to break with tradition adopting the name of Judo, to reflect
the passage from the stress on 'art', or 'skill', 'technique' to that
on the 'way', i.e. 'do' (Chinese: 'tao'). The term had already been
used occasionally and in fact, to distinguish it from another existing
school the full name was, and is, Judo Kodokan. Quite similarly, in
the same cultural transition phase, many traditional activities began
to be called with names ending with 'do': aikido, kendo, etc.

Of course all this is very loosely speaking and with no claim of
completeness or accuracy.
