The quoted article makes some fair points and the other sections of the tutorial seem to be well written.
In particular I am interested in the assertion that Perl gives rise to cliquish "social clubs". Does anyone have any experience of how forums related to Python or other languages operate in comparison to PerlMonks or comp.lang.perl.misc. In the C hierarchies of USENET there is less acrimony than in the Perl groups. I have often wondered if this is related to the fact that it is harder to learn C and therefore harder to get to the question answering stage. Perhaps this harder earned experience leads to more discipline and restraint amongst the participants. In short, is there something at the heart of Perl that leads to cliques and squabbling.
