You accidentally stumbled onto a very controversial issue. Perl has a diverse community, partly because it offers a better balance between "just get it done" and "do it right" than most other languages. There is bound to be some friction between these attitudes in any public place where people talk about Perl. I've seen it in person at most of the jobs I've had. As long as people treat each other politely and recognize that others may have something to teach us, it is usually not a big problem.
