I read your post as utterly disrespectful to Larry Wall and all the other highly skilled people who developed perl over the last ~20 years.

Maybe there is some way we can get Larry to hand over the project to Zend. Or maybe some day Zend will build a Perl optimizer for us that will run our applications 25 times faster.

Er.. what? Do you mean Larry and gang can't pull it? He hasn't a clue and therefore perl is so darn slow? That only A Real Company can speed perl up? Get real, read dilbert.

A company with commitment to PHP as holder and developer of the perl core? Oh. Think again, and update your post thereafter, please. Your post isn't a joke, is it?

I have no hard facts to back this, but I boldly state that "The Perl Community" doesn't want to be embraced by whatever company, and that there's no need for that, anyways.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
