The idea is that in perl is very usual and common place to call externals programs, the thing is that you don't need to setup the filedescriptors manually as jrockway says he does in the article.

Downvote me, but can you explain me why you find this article interesting? (And my comment offending...)

Seriously, is this interesting? I mean, the top-like programs maybe useful (although I'm a browser man, and I think that keep pinging the sites each 30 sec. isn't polite at all.), but how these two simple programs were made... Come on!

I think that these are bad tips. Coffee is ok, but you don't have to abuse. Eat properly is a good tip, but I don't think it's related to staying awake. Naps are a great thing, but never do a 1 hour nap! Something like 20 to 30 minutes is

What kind of meeting? In some cases I'll recommend Lego Serious Play, http://www.seriousplay.com/ . Basically uses Lego to project the issues discusses in the meeting so it's easier to (1) de-personalize them and (2) to visualize.
