It's so sad, but those who are most conscientious are least likely to release code (and vice versa). I don't know of a good solution to that problem, as I hesitated for years before releasing anything and even then got lots of grief for stuff I'd used for years -- even when choosing a very unlikely to be wanted/used namespace for my first module -- I was given grief for taking up the entire 'P' namespace (like so many modules are named P::Something).

Finally one of the detractors boiled down their dislike: it was too DWIM'y. My jaw dropped and I just shook my head. It was too much like what perl was supposed to be? Oi.
