So sorry not to be real Perl's core

Our response to this fascinating debut post (which admittedly may have wandered off on a slight tangent ;-) is incomplete without at least trying to understand the (perhaps profound) meaning behind this unconventional opening line.

What did our unorthodox anonymonk mean by "real Perl's core"? And why feel sorry not to be it? Is there a subtle implication that the OP is a fake Perl core?

As for what was meant by real Perl core, this is all I could think of:

• Cor—An object system for the Perl core by Ovid
• Perl::Core
• corelist
• CORE
• What is the Perl Core? (perl.com article)

Alternative interpretations welcome.

Update: Just noticed the post title Help to have real Perl's advantage also features the word "real" -- does it mean "genuine" or "occurring in fact; not imagined or supposed"?
