perlfaq1: multiple answers affected


I started to update some references to the latest version of Perl
(since 5.8.8 just came out), then I got a little wild. Some of this
diff is just better line wrapping.

* What is Ponie?
   + rewrote the answer. I think the old answer assumes a bit too much
   about what the reader already knows. I mention Parrot and provide a
   link to its project.

* What is a JAPH?
   + Explained a tiny bit more about the history

* Where can I get a list of Larry Wall witticisms?
   + These sort of questions are answered with "Google".  I still 
   provide a link, and also one to Wikiquote, which has links to
   their use

* How can I convince my sysadmin/supervisor/employees to use version
5/5.6.1/Perl instead of some other language?
   + this is the one that started it all. I don't like the /
   constructs, and the versions are dated.
   + I removed a lot of the text since it duplicates info in earlier
   answers
   + I'd like to provide some good advocacy links, but they've all
   disappeared. www.perl.org has nothing useful :(
