I'm sure this post will get cancelled just like Matt ... I love perl and I've used it since 1994 but seriously, just fuck the Committee for Authoritarian Totalitarianism and fuck perl. I'm done. I can't imagine a better way to pound the final nail in perl's coffin than this. I'm sure at least 2 or 3 new programmers will rush to drink the new flavor of toxic koolaid. But whatever, I'm just an old man pissing into the wind.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
