No, this article is NOT an 'evil doer'. :)

In fact, years ago, it was articles similar to this that brought me inside the Perl(y) gates. (There's something odd about that phrase...)

There's just no substitute for making Perl seem approachable for whoever the audience is.

It's akin to another thread Camel Fishing that looks at many of the 'human issues' of 'getting into Perl'.

Not only is there MTOWTDI in Perl, there is also MTOWT discuss and promote it.

Thumbs up.
