but he offers no specifics and obviously has a bias toward Python. So be it.

I honestly don't see this "bias" as being towards Python given the mild contents of the single paragraph where he mentions it. Not to mention this line from the first page: "But nothing is flawless — indeed, not even Perl." Unless that was sarcastic, but it doesn't seem like it to me.

Anyway, it seems to me that whenever Perl gets critiqued, it's the same arguments that get raised (or 'misraised', such as criticisms against implicit variables). It seems like we need a Perl advocacy document (faq, howto, manpage, pod, something), to expand upon the bits of perlfaq1 that address this sort of thing. http://www.perl.org doesn't seem to have this sort of straight-forward doc on hand, just a few points directed towards IT managers.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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.
