The Creative Freedom Foundation has teamed up with Mike Corb and Luke Rowell / Disasteradio to produce the Guilt Upon Accusation anthem: The Copywrong Song.

The song is part of a week of action, launched by the Foundation, against Guilt Upon Accusation laws in NZ. The campaign, taking place from 16-23 February, is a reaction to Section 92A of the Copyright Amendment Act due to come into effect in NZ on February 28, and has already seen thousands of people, organisations, and major companies "blackout" their websites, blogs, FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter and Bebo accounts to show their opposition to the law.

Music: Mike Corb
Produced by: Luke Rowell/Disasteradio
Vocals, guitar, guitar synth: Mike Corb

Last night, the eve of valentines day, the occured the annual lightning talks installment of Wellington Perl Mongers
Grant McLean spoke on "Why XML::Simple Sucks" - and advised fellow mongers to never put the word "simple" in a cpan module. He gave the following example of emails he gets for support:

Dear Mr McLean
I have downloaded your module and am having a little
trouble making it work.
I'm pretty new to XML and I've never used Perl before.
Could you please tell me, what's a hashref?
