The Perl community frequently trumpets freedom as one of the key virtues of the language; indeed, I love it myself. However, does this freedom not extend to using tools other than Perl? Not long ago, a post here on PM was voted down simply for mentioning Python as possibly being useful in a certain situation. This is disgraceful. Some tools are better for some situations, and better for some people. Others have said it better than I, but I feel the need to add my own voice to their's: There is simply no place for language bigotry, especially in a community that supposedly prizes freedom of choice above all else. There's more than one way to do anything.
