mod me down as troll if you wish, but I have one question: why doesn't he aknowledge that Perl has reached its goals long ago and give up development. Seriously, what's the point?

Mister "lets reinvent a 60s programming language while bashing said language and produce something even more horrible". Sooo bloody Microsoftish. (Also don't forget to tout your 'inventions' as revolutionary!)
All bow to Larry you fuckin' geek sheep!
