I read the article. What's amusing about it? It reminds me of the Mel Gibson tirade against the Jews. That went over like a lead balloon. The author viciously attacks Larry Wall and the whole open source community...am I supposed to pat him on the back and say "Good boy!"? Rubbish! To quote Larry Wall:
"True greatness is measured by how much freedom you give to others, not by how much you can coerce others to do what you want...I explicitly give people the freedom not to use Perl, just as God gives people the freedom to go to the devil if they so choose."

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
