( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I don't know the cure but understanding the reason might help.

  • A Evolutionary struggle
  • B Psychology.

A) open source lives from contribution and bad mouthing the competition helps lifting the own chances.

B) most people want to be on the winners side. The more insecure they are about their own skills the more inclined to mob others°. They might say they are Pythonistas, but an average Perl programmer will beat most of them in Python.

Trouble is the self fulfilling prophecy happening here.

I don't have a recipe for you.

Personally I'd come with a use Perl or die; t-shirt to work and demostrate Perl fun each day. :)

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.
