Looks like he doesn't do that these days, and the reason appears to be that the Perl community have, oddly enough, failed to lash at him for his opinions.

Well, maybe the Perl community is so used to people with no clue having random opinions about the language that it stopped caring. (Or maybe it has better things to do.)

Complaining that Perl code is line noise and unmaintainable is as retarded as complaining about Python's whitespace or the many parens in Lisp code. These things are simply not relevant issues.

So eventually you either flip the bozo bit on those people, or you just can't be arsed.
