Or in fact a dromedary, since they claim theirs is a camel even  
though it has only one hump.

But there's something I don't get, could they have believed that the  
Catalyst page was commercial (because it looks too good :)? From  
http://perl.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/perl/usage/faq.html:

"""
Q: I want to place a picture of a camel on my Perl web page. Am I  
allowed to do that? Do I have to use your camel?
A: Yes, as long as your page is non-commercial, and the context in  
which the camel is placed portrays Perl in a positive light. You will  
need to include the following language in small text somewhere on the  
page where the camel appears:
   "The use of a camel image in association with Perl is a trademark  
of O'Reilly Media, Inc. Used with permission."
Please make the "O'Reilly Media, Inc." part of the statement a link  
to our home page (http://www.oreilly.com).
We'd encourage you to use the camel we use, as it has wide  
recognition as "the Perl camel." But if you have another camel you'd  
like to use on a non-commercial site, you can do so as long as the  
image is in no way derogatory. (However, you still would need to  
include the acknowledgement line, as we claim a trademark on the  
relationship between any camel and Perl.)
"""

It seems to me they got the wrong idea.
