`require "cam.pm" ;`

`{ $cam_pm -> why ; }`

$?	what is cam.pm
	about cam.pm
	why the name
$*	the cam.pm list
$@	cam.pm meetings
$_	cam.pm projects

The traditional extension for perl scripts has been .pl and that for perl modules has been .pm. Cam.pm takes its name, therefore, from the fact that Perl Mongers and Perl Module have the same initials. In fact, rather than the

require "cam.pm" ;

at the top of this page, one should probably do

use cam ;

and perl would automagically look for a file called cam.pm.
