Suggestions for an amazing Perl demo
I would like to give a presentation for my co-workers that will show off some amazing things that Perl can do, things that would make programmers and non-programmers alike say to themselves, "WHOA you can do that?!"  I really want to turn heads, since many are of the mindset that Perl is a dying language, but also be fun and entertaining.

Some ideas I have are demos of the following modules:

 - [Spreadsheet::WriteExcel][1] and [Spreadsheet::ParseExcel][2]
 - [WWW::Mechanize][3]
 - [Image::Magick][4]

Any recommendations or comments?

BTW we are a tech company (run a data center) so the computer literacy of my co-workers is high.
