Another way to promote CB that I just thought of, why not get an
article in The Perl Review? I know it's not a huge audience, but I
do know chromatic usually lists what's in the latest issue when he
puts out the O'Reilly Perl newsletter.
I just thought of something else too, maybe an interview on
Perlcast? I could ask Josh McAdams if he's interested in doing the
interview (or maybe we could arrange for someone to interview you).
