The Pittsburgh Perl Mongers held its August meeting at the PAPA World Headquarters to coincide with the kick-off of the PAPA 8 World Pinball Championships. I am glad I didn't miss this meeting. I have never seen so many well-maintained pinball machines. Fortunately, I had my camera and was able to get a few shots.
